Im late to this party but anytime the repair cost exceeds 50% of the value, they generally total it. With high replacement costs associated with these things, it doesn't take much.

Find a reputable body shop and get an estimate done. Then if the guy says he thinks the insurance company will total it ask him what he can do estimate wise if you buy the salvaged car back. Often they can bring the price down and you'd have a rough estimate of how much you'd be all in for. Additionally you could always buy a box and swap parts ( aka roof) and maybe sell raby the engine if he's looking for 2.5s. Lots of options, unfortunately no one wins in this situation. Sorry man...I feel for you.
