Almost $15k for the repair.
You just didn't bring your car to the correct place to get it repaired.
Have you noticed any difference in the way you car drives after the repairs? And by the looks of the pics, your driver's side airbag didn't go off?
I just got in collision with the damage in the exact same places minus the hood damage. The estimated cost to repair is over 4 weeks and $13,100. Everyone is telling me to get rid of the vehicle as soon as I get it back, however I have never been in an accident that had this much damage and my insurance company didn't total the vehicle.
I went to the repair shop to check it out and my XF was the cheapest (and least european) car there, so hopefully they'll do a good job.
