I would argue with the insurance company and have it totalled. The car will never be the same after the repair and it will be less valuable because of the crash. Better to have them total it, negotiate the value of the car as high as you can with the insurance company and then just get another Box. Its a buyers market now.

NADA retail show about $12k. If you can convince your insurance company to pay that (or even 10k) you can buy 2000-2001 Boxsters all day for that amount.
