Depends on your Insurance, and their claims adjuster...

Default '05 is unlikely to be totaled, even if frame is bent.

Insurance companies aren't as total happy with bent frames as they used to be, thanks to modern advancements in frame straightening. If the car were an '03 though, you'd be looking for a new ride.

Fixable if it's a MY2003 or newer. If a 2002, it'll be close.

Glad to hear you weren't injured. I say she lives! Keep us posted.

Day 2 of this nightmare
talked to both insurance agents and told the stories
my insurance says i might have to pay for the other damage too
so it looks like my fault
a guy will come out in 5 days to check out the damage and take pictures

Depends on the frame and all
need a rental car first

anyone know if i should take it to the dealer
or
3rd party person to get it repaired?

Most dealers outsource their body and paint work now. They'd supply the parts.

Default Ask the dealer for a recommendation ....

I prefer Audi Authorized Aluminum Body Repair body shops, they will employ only the repairs to equal OEM construciton and fittment standards and specs.
