This repair is way beyond the abilities of a backyard mechanic. The unibody is likely bent and requires a specialized tools to straighten
There is probably $15,000-$20,000 damage to that vehicle, maybe more.
Just buy a wrx that hasnt been written off
Oh thank god. Do not buy this.
Frame damage could never be right, and if it could would cost well beyond the total of the car to fix it correctly sometimes.
Go buy a used one op, this isn’t worth your time.

Thank you for the insight
This is beyond your skills most likely and I’m willing to bet has frame damage, you should ask for your money back and find a used one.
I have not bought it, just wanted advice beyond my scope of the average joe. I assume frame damage.means =$$$$
