Easy kill. That center post might be in though, its probably going to need a slight pull. If you want to do it yourself, a large tree and a come-a-long. As far as the doors go - just replace them with used. Quarter panel - you can get a used quarter, end up doing more damage than needed to it, or just buy a new GM part. It will save you a LOT of time if you do the work yourself. Glue 90% of it, only welding around the tail light pocket and at the lower rear. Hopefully the hinges for that rear door aren't messed up, they can be a pain to replace. Also, that dog leg is going to need a pull too. Always do your pulls before cutting ANYTHING off.
As far as the value, I think I would buy it cheaper than $6k. Sounds like a bit much, given the work needed. Granted its an easy fix - but you're still going to have some good time and parts added in there. Id say own it repaired for $6k. Still going to have a salvage title.

That's not a bad buy, the only thing that it being the same color will be good for is trimming out the door. They're still going to have to paint the quarter, front and rear doors, and blend the fender. Good luck getting the used quarter off in one piece without ******* it up. There is foam on the inside which has one hell of a bond to the metal. Only way to get it to separate is to hit it with the torch, which, if you're careful you can do it. If you've never done it before, you will easily warp the metal. Now you're throwing filler in it. More work, more time, more money.

And Im not trying to discourage you, but have you ever done body work before? Its going to take a bit to get that quarter right, and that dog leg.
