5 minutes with a sawzall and a roll of 200mph tape and you could drive that thing home.

$3000 to buy it back? yes, buy it.

Sell motor, trans, diff - probably worth $4k combined.

Sell everything else left of the car. Depending on your time, storage, and mechanical know how, you have a decent amount of profit to be made parting it out.

Was your car paid off?

Where do you come up with such a high number?

4-500 headlight
300-400 painted front bumper
250 fender
120 Airpump
75 fender liner
airbags 500 ish
Seatbelts 120
+1k for anything I might have missed.

OP: Depends if you want to put in the elbow grease but there's definitely money parting it out, especially if the seats/carpet/door panels are in good condition. Fixing it looks simple, too.

I got that high number for the exact same accident as his.... Front bumper cover, fender, liner, control arm, shock, headlight, etc etc etc... I don't think his insurance would total the vehicle for as low of a price as you have listed. I had almost the same damage minus the airbag part and I paid 6500!

Did you just hand the check over to a body shop? If you source the parts yourself, which are readily available all of the net, you can find everything at the price I listed or better. His control arm might be bent but the shock looks looks good. Control arm is 150ish for both.

^ lol you're a sucker if you paid 6.8k to fix something like that even with suspension damage.

No I let the insurance company hand the check over... But that was 3 different body shops (using SOME used parts like fender and wheel) All came back with relatively same estimate. Maybe it's a CA price gouge.

Those are some ridiculously low prices, IMO. Maybe if you're in the business, or buying a bunch of used junk. Heck, I replaced my driver's belt because it wasn't retracting fully. The belt assembly *NEW* is about $175 from Honda. I'm not putting used belts in my car, even if it's $120/pair for used. If that's me being elitist, so be it. Airbags I've heard quoted as closer to $1k for the set, but I've never actually priced them. But hey, why not buy them used out of some crashed car if they didn't deploy? They're still guaranteed to work, right? And getting a decent paint shop to spray a front bumper will cost a few hundred bucks in my area, let alone buying and fitting the actual bumper itself.
