A lot of people overlook looking in the spare tire area. It can be fixed, but I don't know for how cheap. Check with your insurance to see if they can cover it. Also contact whoever you bought it from that they didn't disclose that info to you. I don't know how much it would cost. Depends on total damage, meaning frame, body, etc...

I replaced the entire floor section in the trunk of my integra. It was $750 parts only, I think, I can't really remember cuz I wrecked my car twice that month. My friend owns a performance/body shop and he painted it and welded it in place for me.

Its doubtful his insurance will cover it bc it was bought that way, and they generally want a police report.

For the inside of the trunk area, if you don't want to spend money. Pound it out with a hammer and put the spare tire on top of it and you'll be set. For the algning trunk part, a body shop will rip you off, so next time you get in an accident(It'll happen) blame the trunk on the accident.
