Bad news
1) Your insurance company will give you ‘fair value’ for your TT. Chances are repairs > value of the car so it will be totalled and written off with you receiving a check. Bad news is a 2001 TT isn’t worth enough to put you into a new car. Check NADA, Edmunds and KBB and be prepared to fight with the insurance company over value of your car.

This isn’t always the case. I had the exact same thing happen to me about 10 years ago. Traffic up in LA went from 60 to 0 in about 100 yards. I had stopped and looked in my mirror and the guy behind me was barreling down. Nailed me from behind doing 20+ MPH.

At that time I had 10 year old Acura Vigor and still owed quite a bit of money on it (more than it was worth). I told the insurance company of the guy who hit me “I don’t care what you think my car is worth, your insured caused the accident and you need to make me whole.”. They spent over $10k fixing my car–way more than it was worth.
