Sustained a low speed rear ender with my (now deceased) '91 944. What a mess! The body did what it was designed to do and began to collapse resulting in a noticable bulge at the driver side rear pillar, The door would not seal. After numerous trips to the body shop and extensive pulls on the frame straightener nothing else could be done, it would not go back. It was drivable but I decided to unload it since it had already absorbed an impact and would be unable to absorb as much energy in another. As has been stated in earlier posts, make sure they go over it with a fine toothed comb. If the bumper was able to absorb everything, fine. Otherwise, there may be hidden (or not so hidden) damage in some of the crush zones.
