In many cases you will have to throw away the car since it'll not be reparable. I would say it is basically an engineering example of how to throw your money in the trash. If you guys really want a lightweight car with same dimensions, then I believe the best buy for money is currently the revised MX-5.

2,465 is the North American version and is still fairly light for a modern car.
I've been in both a MX-5 and a 4C and they couldn't be any further apart as far as performance goes. @
Braces is right, the car was designed to do one thing "Rock your world" That's it. And it does it VERY well.
If anyone wants one they'd better get one now. These will become a collectors item, I'm sure.
