Indeed. I had one too. It was rearended and we put another 30k miles on it with a smashed trunk. I sold it to family who beat on it another couple of years. They gave it back to me when it started making noises and they were too lazy to junk it.
I realized it just needed brakes and a new rear wheel bearing and some freon in the AC. Decided to spend an hour or two and fixed it and sold it with 230k miles on the clock to a kid learning to drive.
On my wish list. I did not imagine that it might be funny
