Not broken, nothing wrong with them. Either way, insurance will pay for it. I know people who can get cheap repairs on it

No... go to a junkyard to get the parts you need. Don't dump the car over cosmetic damage.

ahh, indeed.

Ah, brings a quesion to mind.

We got an old busted Mazda thats been through too many auto shops to live (it took its final blow 2-3 years ago bending the frame i think making it pretty much totalled). It's about 14 years old but hasn't been started since we somehow got it up the mountain even though the back right wheel was wobling like shit, 3-4 years ago. Should we grab all the good parts from it or just altogether scrap it? (again its been through almost everything that can happen on the road(including spinning out on the freeway and hitting multiple cars(I slept through all that chaos too

If you look at the pictures it appears the front and rear fender panels are damaged. When a mechanic is doing an estimate they are estimating the damage done, not how much it'll cost to fix it. If the panels are damaged at all, they find how much it would cost to replace them altogehter.
My old Buick Lesabre's damage was estimated at $3,300. It cost them $600 to repair it.
This is why you want to have the estimate done by your own mechanic. A lot of times the insurance company's mechanic will use the repair cost rather than the damage cost. This is how I was out almost 4 grand in my hit and run, $3,300 in damage plus $600 out of my own pocket.
