It sucks.

It would not surprise me if the insurance company totals it. The last time it happened to me costed me $1000 for parts along.

I needed radiator, hood, grille, grille frame, aux fan, aux fan frame and others. Most body parts were from JY except the radiator. Lucky me that I managed to find a car with the same color to pull the hood. The radiator itself is $400+. You would not see a lot change for $4-5K when you factor in the labor and repainting. On the other hand, if they total it and you fixe it yourself then you may come out ahead. Money in pocket with a good 'salvaged' title car.

Good luck.
