Not sure what year the vehicle in question is, but I know when I had my FRS repaired after being rear-ended it only got done because of the out of control used market in late 2021, early 2022. It had a little more damage then this but not much. The gap was less than $1,000.

Add to this the current parts delays...go do a search at one of the insurance auctions for 2022 & 2023 vehicles. There are thousands "totalled" because factories are using every part to build vehicles so there are no spare parts to repair them if they are crashed...
Makes for tempting purchases...but can't repair without parts.
