They totaled my car...

$14,500 in damage, estimated by Fischer Body, the only AoA trained shop in Michigan.
The insurance co wanted $5500 to buy it back. I just don't have time or money to part it out folks. Sorry.

Sorry to see that. I had similar damage about 3 years ago. Ended up costing the insurance...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/31455/escapa8_accident_112203_a.jpg"></center><p>...company just less than US$6000. My car was about 7 years old then. Replaced the bumper, grille, hood, 1 set of lights, and a bunch of small stuff. I had no frame damage though: the car just got clipped from he side. Good luck!

Re: how bad was the damage what hAPPENED
Dam, sorry to see an S8 in that state 
( and the main thing is you / your occupants are ok
If that was here in the UK i would have it straight away!!!!. The damage doesnt look that bad, and at $5500 god what a bargain!!! even if you broke it for bits, i bet you would reclaim that cost + much more in parts, but i can understand the time and hassle involved in that scenario
ps, will you post the wheels to the UK :P !!
