First, i had no idea that Focuses (Focii?) were so pricey. Given that the car is so new, maybe try to get some kind of compensation for diminished value on top of the repair bill, to make up for what you'll lose when you sell it. Personally, I wouldn't want to keep the car, but if it's a good repair, it might be fine.

Haha Focii. And the RS is holding its value really well. Limited run car and most likely the only version of the RS to ever be sold on the US.

Already talked to them about a diminished value claim. Have to wait until the repairs are finished.

Find someone that works on diminished value claims and get your money out of the car and keep it.

Here are a few of the pics they sent me today about my car. Everything with green needs to be cut out and new pieces welding in. There are twice as many pics.
