Was at a friends shed a few weeks ago while replacing the clutch, and he had a WRX he bought at auction. Mileage: ~50,000. Condition: Been barrel rolled a few times at over 150kmh, possibly a couple of trees involved:

(rear of the car, with bits and pieces piled up on top of it. Two of the guys at the front where trying to get the engine running which, remarkably, was turning over and working apart from an ignition/anti-theft issue)

Casualties: 1, the driver. Not sure how the crash happened, the theory is that he was induced into a slide, and slid the rear into a tree (major impact damage to the rear left seems to support this), forcing the car to spin the other way and starting the car into a roll.

Passenger seat; gives you an idea of the force involved.

The roof, which was removed by the firies to take the guy out. Only the cuts are mode by them; the rest of the damage was caused by the crash.

Amazingly, the front bar and grill was left intact, with only some scratching and dust on it. Engine was fine, the only damage to that was on the cam covers. Purely superficial, everything else in the engine bay was fine.

If you want a pictorial on how badly you can crash at speed, then here it is. Sure was a nasty one, especially to see a WRX turned into a pile of metal and material so easily.
