Got my 06 Aero crashed into. What would you do?

Hello fellow Saabians!
I've been using this site for a while for DIY's on the 92, but never felt the need to post until now.

Unfortunately my 2006 Aero 5 speed was crashed and essentially is going to be totalled due to the sustained damage. Some guy ran a red on a 55mph road and tboned the car on the passenger side. In short, the 3 pillars including doors and fender will need replacing should I decide to keep it.The car still drives, same as the day I bought it, now only with the horrendous body damage.

As many of you know these things are quite rare, and it is an awesome car in every aspect; the body shop quoted 5500 to repair the car back to how it was.

I'm wonderig what you guys would do, or at least advise me to do. I'm still waiting to get the car value from the insurance, but I want to start planning the future of the car.

Car does have a rebuilt engine with power mods and suspension work.

Should I part it out and pick up another car? Maybe a wrx this time. Or should I restore it and bring this unicorn back to life!?

Personally I'd repair it. I'm attached to my 06 and couldn't imagine it totalled out.

If the front and back are still good you can always get an 06 WRX that needs a front clip and swap over the Saab bits smile
