For those who care, I got the damage on the car : 7000$. They are not totalling it. Very far from it. Now begins the fight with the nickle and diming insurance company. Can you believe the car was hit in the driver front wheel, enough to destroy the fender, yet they did not put a new cv joint in the estimate? Can you say strange noises in 10000kms? eek

And I am real worried the driveshaft pushed in some internal parts in the transmission, and that I will have gear alignment issues later on.

They also say the sunroof has a safety plastic pin that breaks when the air bags deploy, and that this is used as a fuse to protect the mechanism. I'm still skeptical about this. Don't want sunroof issues. Squeaks are enough as it is.
