Anyone have experiences in selling a "Mechanics Special" car on craigslist? Do people really buy and repair cars anymore?

Backstory:
A friend recently rear-ended someone in her '07 Toyota Avalon. She stupidly cancelled her collision insurance a while back to save money. Repair estimate (hood, front bumper, radiator and supports, headlamps) is about $7000, which she can't afford out of pocket. If not for a coolant leak it would run and drive (no apparent frame/suspension damage).

Looking online, the parts cost is about $1100-1500 plus paint for the hood and bumper. Blue book is about $5-7k, so it would seem like there is room for someone to make some money fixing it.
I don't have the space or time, otherwise i might take a stab at it.

Anyone ever try to sell a car like this?
