Sorry to hear that. You can "hope" that ins. will total it but I don't think they will(not according to those damages) . I had my 03 350Z rear ended in 08. I bought the car for $16k. The repair ended up costing the ins. Company 12k. Those bastards still refuse to total it . I even had frame damage. Car drive fine for 6 months. Then it just didn't feel how it was before. Waited for 370z and traded in for it. your best bet will be to trade it as soon as it fixed if you don't plan on driving it for long.

It does pull VERY VERY hard, and I'm not sure if it's alignment, tire, or something more serious. The front tire did not look to line up with the rear when I looked at it, but meh, could be perception. I need 3 new rims (rash from hell on the lips of them) and a new $1700 body wrap (yes, everything but the roof, rear-hatch, rear-bumper, and doors is wrapped edge to edge, full-panel), and...

...there will be some MONEY going into fixing this.
Your tie end rods and wheel bearing possibly damaged. Those are the first two things coming to my mind.

What he said . If it does show up when you're trading in, file with ins. Company for diminished value claim.

Since I know your posts, I'm going suggest you German made car. The new 4 series coupe or get the upcoming BMW M4 coupe. C7 looks amazing too.

Good luck
