I've seen worse scoobs repaired on insurance....all depends if the roof has been flexed or not...if it has, its a gonner. 
Worst I've seen repaired was one that went backwards into a tree at high speed, the span into another tree (The classic scooby rear end "snap"
).
Back end had structural damage right up to the d-pillar. New boot floor, welded in new rear wing sections, rejigged rails and inner framework, new rear valance, new inner bumper, new outer bumper new, lid, new spolier. New door, new wing etc. Repair cost over £10K - due to the high cost of Subaru parts...blame international motors for that

connect back end to a lamp post with a chain
6500 rpm and first gear, drop the clutch to pull back end out
bodge on a fibreglass 22b kit so you dont have to source a type r back end and bobs your uncle, worth an easy 6k

Opinions are like arseholes: everybody has one. Even so, I will share mine. The car isnt very badly damaged at all. If its repaired properly (and its not a dificult job, assuming that the belts are intact) then itll be as good as new.

depedning on underlying damage, you could use a stock 4 door rear section if, cut and weld in and panel beat the skin benear the window.
Although proper panal beaters cabeable of doing this are few and far between these days. Perhaps 20 years ago you could have, as plenty were kept busy untwisting Cossys and 911
