Holy guacamole! You rarely see one mangled like this!
Looks like they had to cut the pillars to get the driver out! I'm glad I was not in that vehicle. But how can they ask 9999 Euros? That's about US$12k - sounds totally unrealistic, even though the front lights are not broken...

Have seen one S4 where hit to the front was much smaller. Alternator had riped chunk out from front corner of engine block. Extremely difficult if not impossible to repair. Buyer is lucky if engine and gearbox are usable.

Actually the value of that GTS is IMHO, zero. There is not one usable part, save perhaps the headlights .... I would expect grave damage to the transmission also. Engine is obviously toast, interior is dead, body panels are all toast.

That's German tungsten so yeah you may just be right 
... but 19k for a light bulb ... it'd better be made of something more precious than tungsten.
