I am very sad and heartbroken; if the car is not totalled I will be selling it. After an accident like this it, driving my BRZ simply won't feel the same anymore. I will always be hearing new noises and will be paranoid about the way car drives, etc. It'll simply be too much stress to have every day.

I had a front crash in the snow in a new car that was only 6 months old & less than 6k miles. It was not totalled. I said the same thing - I'm selling it, but to my surprise the shop did well, and the car never developed any rattles/noises. I kept the car to 150k before selling it. Before deciding on what you will do, allow the shop to fix it and live with it for awhile & see. THEN decide.
