I would be checking for any frame damage that would warrant writing off the bike.
If there's not much difference I don't understand why they don't just fit a new one in, surely it will be a lot less hassel etc.

as for checking for frame damage, I was thinking of doing that for certain because the car hit the muffler at a 90 degree angle. so the swing arm might be bent or damaged?
