BUY IT BACK!! dont accept the first offer they give you, make sure they know about all the extra's the car has, (sunroof on mine got an extra ?200 lol) as it adds value, that will get wrote off, but looking at the photos that will be a pretty straight forward fix, new rear panel is only ?180, the dent in the rear quarter will pretty much go when you take the rear panel off as they are soft as **** lol, the dent in my rear quarter pretty much went and that was just from pulling by hand when the rear panel was off, mine was a harder smack that that aswell as i had no door gap, i reckon if you took the bumper off then you could kick the rear panel straight again, they are that soft, if not then you could get a scissor jack in ther and push it out, you will be suprised at how quick that would go right again, but i would buy it back and repair it and then just drive it untill it dies, you got to think you have had all the belts done (makes sure the insurance know about this and the cost ) so its going to last another 90k, the way i look at my car now is that it owes me sweet FA
