Default wrecked s4 fixable?

My 2000 S4 was in an accident recently. The frame is bent, there is significant body damage, and the transaxles were sheared from the wheels. The Audi collision guy told me "the car is fixable, and you'll never know we were in there." Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Will my S4 be the same? Or should I total it and move on?

Default I did it with a 2001. Just make sure there are no valves bent...

Also, if you are concerned about warranty issues later on then don't do it.
