Default Window/Door frame issue

Hey all wanted to know is a Window/door frame bent in any way fixable? heres a picture of the spot i'm talking about

[img][/img]

This is not the car but it's same model, same color lol i will take some pictures of the damage but i wanted to have some insight tonight on it.

Okay so as some of you might know i'm picking up a car for 400$(Eg coupe d16y8) and the only real problem with the car AT ALL is this door frame/window frame. It was in a side collusion but the car is still clean title and both the owners had a mutual agreement that they didn't want to lose there clean title. I don't know the full story but anyways that's besides the point. This causes the door to sag when opened. When shut it is 100% fine and doesn't leak in any air or water but it is pretty banged up. Is this something i can bend around with a rubber hammer and some tools and have a shop do some work on it to fix it? Or is this just 100% un-fixabled or beyond repair?

It would be easier too just take it to the body shop. Honestly if it isn't causing a serious problem.. You don't have to rush to get it fixed.

If thats the only problem with this $400 car, it sounds like a good idea to buy it.
