My insurance company wanted to take it to one of their shops and have the car bid on to see how much it was worth and if they could get some cheapo bastards to fix it for nothing. Our insurance guy got into a big fight with us and said that because I am not agreeing to have it taken to his shop that I would have to pay out of pocket. He was saying it like it was a threat, he was so angry.
I got an estimate from the shop and they said it will be 7,000 to fix the car and I am in deep **** at this point, the car isn't even worth 14,000 according to Kelly blue book.

NOoooooooooooooo!
If Ls1tech can talk me out of something like that SURELY they can talk you out of it. I know your WS6 gave you a lot of problems just like mine does, and now its greviously injured, but give it another chance...

Very good 
I understand you with the pay to play thing tho, I just happened to find a nice car that had the receipts for new water pump, new radiator, new AC system... You're at the mileage where once you fix this stuff, you're in like flint... before you know it you'll be asking for cam swap advice

Once the insurance company establishes the cost of repairs you can take it to any shop you want and they have to fix it for that price. Your insurance company will have to give them more money if any unforseen things come up while the work is being done, it is their responsibilty. The key here is to take it to a Pontiac dealer, preferably with a new paint shop, and get a lifetime guarantee on the work. When you paint the front end of these cars they have a special flex agent that goes in the paint and almost all after market paint shops will screw it up.
If you go somewhere else keep a close eye out for real small cracks and if you see any appearing I'd sell the car right away. Once they start they get worse real fast.

I have been worried about the paint not matching. I'm not sure if this accident will go on the carfax record or not, the other wreck it was in wasn't on the record.
This may sound weird but I am very scared of driving fast and I'm totally terrified of driving at night and I try to avoid ANY kind of highway driving. I am totally turned off to having a car like this now.
BTW I will post pictures of the car when I get it back, they said it would be two weeks. SOO does anyone know anything about Cavaliers? LOL jk

NONE of my cars have had salvage titles and many of them showed up with previous fender benders from previous owners. Now if you were paying for the whole repair outa pocket then no it shouldnt show up on carfax unless the show reports it which sometimes they do
