ALWAYS BUY IT BACK!!!! 
I had a young customer who didnt understand how insurance works and he didnt buy it back. Buy back was 1200 BUCKS.
I told him I would have given him 3k cash on the spot for that car.
We need guys on s2ki to buy back their wrecks and part them out. You will make a great profit, and you will help countless s2k owners with a car that parts are slowly becoming unavailable.

Not totaled! Sending it to a nice professional shop, should be done within 7-10 days. This shop is going to look into getting me a AP2 front bumper, otherwise I will be buying the attachment and giving it to them to paint with the bumper. Yay!

If you get an AP2 bumper, you will need ap2 fender liners, and center front underliner for it all to bolt up.
In addition, you will need to remove the styrofoam absorber, and you will need to shave off the edges of the steel bumper beam with a grinder. If you dont, in a few days, the steel bumper beam will poke through the newly painted bumper and destroy your new paint job.
Print this and bring it to the body shop

Wow my front looks just like yours when i got into an accident... but mines was sandwiched... a car hit me hard in the rear and i flew and went under the car (2008 Corolla S) in front of me... in the rear, my muffler and my license was bent but if you look at it from far away it looks normal since the bumper didn't have any damage, the only thing wrong with the rear bumper is that it went in at least 2 inch in and pop back out, and all you can see is the 2 inch marks from it going in and back out... my front looks just like yours, just that the headlight was cracked.... however i brought it to a small shop in my town and they did a pretty good job repairing it. Got my whole front replaced with new parts, and the paint job was incredibly good. the bad is when i brought it home a few days later i realized one of the head light was cricket, the head light that was crack from the accident... just make sure if u go get it repair, look at every little spot and see if its perfect, you don't wanna drive outta there and a few days later realized that some of your stuff is not put in right...
