On Friday, my CX-3 was rear ended. No one hurt, but new car no more

Still waiting on the damages from insurance but I got it towed as to not cause any further damage. The muffler/exhaust was pushed in and the bumper was tearing behind the hatch. I know some of the cross traffic sensors are somewhere there, hope they weren't damaged. Even when fixed, it will probably never be the same and likely to have issues down the road.
Not wanting to put the dampeners on your rear end bingle but, I think anchorman could have his finger on the pulse. Let me explain.
My daughter had a similar rear end accident. See pics for comparison.
At first we thought that au$1500 might cover it. (You can do the conversion to us$ for yourself)
First look by the repairer thought it might be closer to au$4000.
On the hoist they said it would probably be around the au$8000 mark.
In the end because the frame pulled back into spec easier than expected, it came to around au$7000.
What had happened was like anchorman had suggested.
The well that the spare tire sat in was "crunched up". This force was transmitted further into the car towards the front, causing quite extensive damage.
It took a bit over 3wks to get it repaired. All seems well now.
Maybe worth a mention:
My daughter immediately after the accident used her iPhone to take pics of his car, her car and the driver himself. (Lesson to be learned there). That certainly helped when going through her insurance. He was test driving the car he was in with the intent of buying it. he also was NOT insured.
It didn't cost my daughter a penny other than her time. She had a car supplied by the insurer while hers was being repaired.
