highly doubt this is totaled. Would be incredibly surprised considering it’s a low mileage car.

Ugh so sorry this happened. Nice car too.

If you decide to keep the car -- Please make sure you consider the fact that this is a cabriolet. Any even minor misalignments can cause issues w/ the top mechanism, wearing in inexplicably odd ways, and seals / water ingress over time.

I had a cabriolet with a rear impact at one point. Issues w/ the convertible top the rest of the car's life.

Ie - I'd get rid of it.

I agree.
If there is an option to get out of the car I would look for it....

I would like to see the itemization for the $60k repair estimate based on what we can see in the photos.
