A total loss :(

I can't believe it. I received a call from the body shop that took my car two days ago.

Body shop: "Out estimation is 8000$"
Me: "8000????"
Body shop: "Yes. It is a total loss. It is not repairable."
Me: "Oh, gosh. I can't believe it. What should we do now?"
Body shop: "I'll call the insurance company; they will decide about it."
Me: "Could you send me your estimation?"
Body shop: "Yes. sure. What is your email address?"
...

I got shocked after the call. I never expect to hear that. I thought that it is repairable. I was happy before answering the call. I expect to hear that you can come on Monday and get your car, but ... It was not a serious accident, and no damage happened to the engine, and other parts. I thought that they might made a mistake. It might be another car. It might be a mistake in estimation.

I downloaded the file that they sent to me. It was correct. The parts costed about 3500$ and labor costs was around 4000$ and adding taxes to that made it about 8000$. I was in the bus when I saw it, and I cried for a few seconds. I will never see that car again. It was a very sad story. I had it for less than two months, and everyday it was useful to someone. A super clean car that took me two months to find it crashed in an accident when I was driving around 10mph. "Aroos" will never come back to my home. I still can't believe it :(
