I see chassis rail damage on the front, possibly in the rear. I see bent suspension arms. Most likely damaged shock absorbers. Headlights and taillights need replacing, Aluminium Bonnet is expensive, possibly steering rack broken. If air bags deployed u will need airbags, airbag ecu, selt belt pretensioners, new interior dash, radiator broken, bumper support panels...I could prob go on but the point is...I think its a write off...
It sucks but the good thing is that u are covered and the people are ok.

Dang Bugs Bunny...

Word of advice for those of you that ever get in an accident by yourself...keep ramming the S2k into the wall until you are positive that it is totalled...You DO NOT WANT a repaired s2k, it ain't the same.

Also, did they add in asset loss to that? You'll never be able to sell it if it gets fixed.

PUSH BACK. Have them reesitmate. Fight them. Have them look for more hidden damage, transmission comes to mind.

I would suggest you do NOT change colors. The body shop would charge YOU to paint the interior areas (like inside the engine compartment.) Once you change the color, it will drop the price of the car. Probably even lower than the accident dammage if repaired.

Hopefully after tear down, the Insurance company will have addendums to your estimate to throw it over the top and consider it a total loss.
