<prompt> Human: So if you frequent rmiata youve probably seen this post which is the aftermath of me wrecking my brand new 2018 Miata Grand Touring within a week and 440 miles of buying it in cash. My first car. Im now in the process of settling with insurance over it and I could use some knowledge and advice.Here is the damage estimate that I received today. I dont know enough about cars to say what is significant here, other than apparently 5 hours estimated labor for frame damage.EDIT: Here are more pictures of the wreck at the scene of the accident as well as the teardown inspection.I paid 28.4k in cash for the car, and if I were to accept compensation for the damages I would get about 14.2k after the 2500 deductible and also have the wreck to sell. Here are my options that Im aware of:1. Repair the car, paying the 2500 deductible out of pocket, and just drive it. The car seems heavily damaged so this might be unsafe or unpleasant, I really dont know, and it might cost me more in the long term due to accelerated depreciation. Ive heard from the shop that theyll use entirely Mazda parts and it will take about two months to order the parts and repair it.2. Dont repair the car, taking the 14.2k check and selling the wreck, then buying a brand new and exactly identical Miata presumably for the same price I bought the first one at. I am willing to take up to a 10k loss since already the guaranteed minimum loss is 2500 due to the deductible for a brand new Miata, but this assumes the wreck sells for 4k or higher. Selling the wreck will presumably be a challenge and I know nothing about how to best do that and the logistics of moving it around.3. Repair the car, paying the 2500 deductible, and then selling it for a brand new Miata. Im not sure this would get me more money than option 2, and it would seem like more of a risk unless the repair job was excellent and the buyer didnt care that it had been heavily repaired.Ive heard that I could also possibly get a second estimate from another shop, but Im not sure my insurance company would be compliant with the expense of doing so. The shop my Miata was inspected at is apparently one of the best and most upstanding in the city judging by Yelp, but theres probably some more upscale.Im open to other suggestions, but what is off the table is buying and driving anything other than a Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring with manual transmission, for any reason. My time with the car has firmly convinced me of that and I miss it dearly. Hopefully if I get a new one I wont murder it too.  <response>: ??? what are you talking about selling a heap? Thats what it will costs to fix, take the insurance money and fix it. Youre only out the deductable. They have tolerance standards they need to meet so it wont be unsafe. Dont know why you would ever sell a new miata then turn right around and buy another. Option 1 is the only option you should even consider
