Hmm so the insurance adjuster guy just left and said that the car is a total loss and he's gonna send the photos to that department so they can determine the value. He thinks between 8-10k.

He also mentioned I have the option to buy back the car and for what he thinks should be around $1.5k and rebuild it.

Tough decision... maybe use the money on a down payment for a newer 2.5i/rs or get a new front end and maybe have some money left over to get the whole car painted?
