Sorry to see your S4 damaged, Vinny/
I guess my advise is coming rather late, as you’ve already put in a claim, and the car’s been totalled.
The damage seems pretty minimal - yeah, I know it looks bad, but remove the hood, fender, bumper, headlamp and core support, and you have an S4 that looks like it’s being prepared for a timing job.
Besides the bumper, the required parts are shared with the A4. I would have fixed it privately, and kept the car, and kept a clean title.
Oh well. If you buy it back, what are your plans? Please don’t part her out - there aren’t many of these great cars left, and yours was a pretty clean example too. I saw a mention of you selling the motor and trans. Are you planning a different engine?
All the best, whichever route you take.
