Anything can be 'saved' if you have enough money. However, you will probably be better off starting with a new/different car.

I would have to agree. You would be better off replacing it.

WOW ummm I'd say part it out and junk it.... then go pick up a t2.... the money you will put into straightening that out will be about the same as getting a stock s4 t2.... my brother did no where near that kind of damage to one of my old s4's and it cost 1000 bucks to fix cause the frame got bent... that was with a discount too.

It's a base model S4, and it has frame damage. Unless your insurance company is going to pop for 3k+ in body work, part it out, save the parts that you want and find a good 5 lug shell. Definitely not worth repairing unless it has some deep intrinsic sentimental value.
