Oh man, I hate to say it, but I'm betting you're estimate is only 50% of it. I really think you're well into 7 or 8k at least.
The front bumper cover with paint will be about $1000. That whole right radiator region is pushed back pretty good. And to see those suspension components broken like that is rough.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't look like the control arm, rather, what the control arm mounts to (frame?). How can that not be beyond labor intensive? Did your headlights survive?
This poor Boxster hit something
hard! That leads me to think there's more damage unseen, most likely in the form of bent metal.
If my estimate seems high, keep in mind that it looks like it's gonna need a bit of paint work (bumpers, fender, trunk, spoiler, hood possibly?). That's not quite a DIY job unless you've got a paint booth. Paint always jacks up the cost.
The damage that occurred to my car looked much less serious than this and it was about 6k.
