I'm guessing a lot of the repair estimate is labor. No airbags deployed, but all electronics that are stored in the rear quarter panels will need to be replaced. The Bluetooth system was fried after the crash...I had a hard time talking with the 9-1-1 dispatch. Something else in the center stack was making noise the next day (see video posted on page 1), presumably the CD changer - but I was able to eject all six discs when I went back to clean it out.
As others have said, it sucks to see it like this. I wish I had the cash to pick it up, get it straightened out and make it a project car - see how well the S-tronic can handle the full complement of JHM bits and supercharger. That would be fun with my S6 as a DD! Alas, it's not in the cards for me...but I do hope to see it back on the road someday soon!
