$6500 damage according to the insurance co.  I could pull it out to get it through inspection but I no longer need a car and truck.  I need the truck to pull my camper but to just drive it all the time, the insurance savings from dropping the Jetta pays for the difference in Diesel.  Besides, I still have the 05 A5 to play with!

That damage was caused by me sitting still, and a Geo Tracker (with a heavy bumper) hitting me at 45mph!  Best part is I did not even feel a thing (or get hurt).  I would say the crumple zones did there job.

  That's over $5200 for a car that books around $8000 maybe?  
Gets close enough to full value and they'll bag it or might deem 
it "unsafe" if bent enough even though it's really safely rebuildable.

It only books for $5600.00 here in SE PA according to both mine and her insurance co!
