About a week and a half ago I got a flat tire and had my car towed. The tow truck driver did not secure the vehicle and the car fell off the back of the flat bed from about four feet up. First onto the rear and then the front dropped down.

The body shop I took it too said the total damages are between $11k - 12k.

I'm going to go down to the shop and go through the damages in a few hours. I should be able to provide a list of the damages and some pics afterward. I do know they said the rims, suspension and frame were fine... which I am questioning.

Is there anything that I should I look out for? Should this car have been totaled out? Do I have any options with this?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

One last thing is the flat tire was due to the uneven amount of wear on the inside of both my rear tires. The outside of the tire still had plenty of tread and the inside was bold. My car had an alignment before the wheels were put on and they are saying that the 370z should be aligned like that. I also find that questionable.
The rear tires have negative camber from the factory, so yes the wear pattern you described is normal
