    I would strongly consider buying it back to fix it and buy a $1500-2K beater to get around. The truck just needs a front clip and I would consider upgrading it with a 2012-'15 front end.

    I don't think most people are looking at this thing close enough. That whole front "frame" or whatever you call it is tweaked and needs to be straightened. This isn't even something most mechanics can do let alone DIYers. This truck is an organ donor.

    Yeah, that is a lot of damage. I hit a deer 6 yrs ago, way less damage than that. The fenders and hood had very minor damage and were repaired. Radiator was fine. AC condenser changed. The repair was over $5k

    Edit- found a pic.

    New bumper, new grill, and two remanufactured headlamps was $1k

    Depends on the buy back amount but for a 2011 OR AC 4x4 with less than 100K miles with likely no engine or frame damage, post it on TW or CL and you will make a profit easily. Personally,like stated before, I would buy a beater and slowly work on fixing it and keeping it. OP's getting almost $20k for it. I would be more concern if the frame was involved.
