If you had insurance, it would be a write off. Good future lesson, don’t drive a car worth over $3-5k without personal coverage.

You’d honestly be better trying to sell her off, auction, or part out.

If you can source lightly used parts, do all the suspension work yourself, and live with the cosmetic damage. Then you could be in for about $1k for exterior fixes. Hard to tell airbag damage from pics. If you can pull everything from a scrap yard car and install it yourself it won’t be that expensive. Probably $2000 all in for a DIY inclined individual. Probably $8k for a shop to get her back to 100%. Maybe as cheap as $5k if you can live with certain cosmetic flaws and wheels/tires are still useable.
