This topic also came out ar? See how serious your accident lor.
Mine last time front crash other's boot and took 2 weeks to repair and come back.

For yours if turned upside down means the top also damage right? Then it should be longer, probably 1 month - 2 months. If you miss your car, go to the factory and pay a visit lar. I did that last time.

One thing i wish to know. How did you drive the car until it can hit the divider? Did you drive too fast or try to avoid something har?

Wah.. it's indeed worst than what i have expected. Even though if somehow the car managed to be repaired, it won't be like original anymore for sure. Because no matter how great the mechanic are, they won't be able to normalize the car's "bone" to 100% which will affected the shape of the car.
Be prepared, the silence in the car when you driving later will probably won't be as quiet as before.

P/S: You seriously should have requested to change to new car.

Should have request from Insurance before you claim see whether it's possible to change whole car or no instead of repair.
You might able to do that but not if they have an expert mechanic with them to inspect the car, they will know it just by look and few knocks.

I guess the sales agent is trying to avoid getting a new car for you cause that will claimed a large amount from the insurance company and means they will lose money instead of suppose to earn money from you.
Then the agent probably got some "jalan" with the sub car repair shop that this "big repair" claims which still cheaper than changing car claims will definitely make some money between those 2 party which involved.
(This is only my thought but it might be true. We won't know.)
Suppose from the things to be changed as mentioned, it's nearly like changing a half cut of the car already which will reduced the safety of your car in future when driving. (Original whole body and remounted bone got very big differences.)

If it need to register, could it means the engine is totally replaced with new one?

For me, i would try to sell it as soon as possible. Otherwise, use it for light purpose only. Not recommended for another accident with that same car. Good luck.
