What a shame an excuse to get a 4.77 FD would be (it is an AT). Your car has some additional body work (possible indicator of more deeper issues) than mine as well. My right rear quarter panel is the only part that needs repaired, whereas your door, fender, and front bumper also need to be repaired/replaced.
@ Tcoat 's statement about damage being different than appearance is accurate.
How much do you still owe on the car? Or was it paid off? We're assuming you have $22k to play with, but the bank will get paid first.

Thanks Reamer, definitely similar impacts, different situations, but I'm interested to see how both play out-- good luck, let us know what comes up!
I paid for my car up front. I fortunately don't really have a budget I need to keep within for a new car, it's more a matter of if it's worth the money.
