Default Damage done to my car

okay so as you all know i got in a accident saturday i just got the esatmate to fix my car $3800 to fix the car the back bumber got hit cause'd the body of the car to be bent on the quarter panals they want to take a hammer to the panels and a peice of wood and try to punch it out which means it will cause rust to the car and weaken up the frame no after they try to get it all back together there gonna haft to try and match that color and i know they will never get it back to the right way heres is the pic of the hit on the back bumber i do not think its worth fixing since the car well never be the same again it did bend my sunroof up do you think its worth fixing or not after all the insurence company will give me $6500 if its tottaled

total it out. not really worth the hassle, because now you're going to have to find another buyer.

^ agree, Hope that they total it

the rear bumper doesnt look too bad, do you have a picture of the quarter panels, sunroof, and other damage?

Absolutely total it. A, because you took a hard enough hit to bend the roof, and B, you were only selling it for $5500 right? This is a grand more. Total it, buy it back, use what you can off it, part out the rest, and still buy your 1.8T.

I'd say total it out, and buy yourself a new baby. I just got into an accident on saturday also! but it doesn't seem that bad, the insurance is paying for me, so hopefully I can repaint the whole car again...=)

Damn. Are they that bad?

I couldn't justify doing anything to my E-Codes since I got them brand new.
