Alright guys for those of you that dont know what happened to my car here it is.....

Part 1: Late Friday night my girlfriend and I where driving North down a particularly gravely Street. It was raining and I made a right turn through a yellow light at decent speed. I started to slide during the turn and ended up hitting the only curb in site. The car went up on the sidewalk and oil and coolant went everywhere. Also, my front tire popped on impact. Anyway, I had to have the car towed to the dealer at 130 AM.

Part 2: After getting the dealer in touch with my insurance company, I learned that in addition to all the typical repairs for hitting a curb, the technicians say that I also need a new ENGINE! 26k just for the new engine! Good thing I have insurance and a low deductible.

Part 3: The insurance company and the dealer are conflicting about how much it is going to cost to repair the car, the dealer says about 50k and the insurance company believes it is more around 40k. Either way, the insurance company is considering just totaling the car. Normally I would be all for totaling it and getting a new car however, I put 11,500$ down and I am afraid that if they total it then I will loose my down payment. For example, I only owe 59k on the car, so if the insurance company gives me the market value for the car (lets say 65k (just guessing)) then that only leaves me with 6k for a deposit on the new car. What do you guys think? I tried to look up my car value on KBB but they dont have any numbers up for 2011 cars yet. What do you guys think?

BTW.... The car only had 7500 miles on it and sustained no body damage at all! This shit is crazy.
