Default do you fix it or sell it?

This last saturday, my S's rear end broke loose on a wet onramp and we met the guardrail. Im super disappointed as this thing has been my object of lust for the longest time. One of the worst things is that the insurance agency made a mistake and covered it with liability only (the only one of the 13 vehicles between my personal and business without full converage). While they are trying to figure out how to screw me out of my money, I thought I would post some pics here and see what you all thought about the fix / sell as is decision. If I get screwed by insurance, Im told its more valuable since the title stays clean but I really dont know much about cars or all this. Not sure how to attach these photos so here is the link to the picasa pics.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I have the exact color combo inside and out. How much do you love your ride? If fixed properly, I would have no doubt it will continue to bring you joy

But if the costs are too great, it would be best to part out and find another. At least you are okay.

Depends on how much it would cost to fix it. Get the estimate and see if it's better worth it to you.

The right frame rail is bent and pushed in. That's going to be labor intensive and expensive to repair if you can't do it yourself or have a hook up.

If I was in your position, I'd just put in a good front upper control arm so its driveable. Then put it on ebay.
