I know I'm not in control of this, but my wish is to have this car totaled. A normal body shop will most likely want to have my insurance estimate it as a repair. I know the car have more damage than what look physical from the outside.

anyone went through this and have any advice?

I'm still kinda shaken up but at least it happened in a Audi.... both Air bags went off.

You might want to make some calls to see what your dealership recommends first.

I just went through totalling an A4 two weeks ago. I know how you feel. At least your alright.
Anyway, the insurance company will ALWAYS estimate the repair. They will do what is cheapest for them, so there is a good chance the car will be totalled if bent the frame or hurt the engine.

take a sledgehammer to the car..BEND THE FRAME...
but that is a bad idea, that would cause the insurance company to total it..

no they don't, but if worst case at least this repair will be done right with original audi parts

System_S4k

They will make sure it is done right.

im glad to hear your are in good health.....how did it happen?

System_S4k

into the foot wells. I had to move my damn seat back to get my legs un-wedged. Legs took the worst of it, other than that I was fine. Friend (owner and driver) had the car shipping to a local body shop, insurance people came out, said it was totalled, and wrote him a check. No biggie, just be glad your OK.

RuS4

yea, my driver side door wouldn't open,........ which insurance do you have?

I'll find other pains......ouch, my neck feels sore....ouch my.... : ( The real pain.... I lost my beloved S4 with all the right mods. That engine was silky smooth.
