She loves her car, and wants nothing else except another MINI Cooper, but we don't have 25K to shell out ( But I believe I'll be persuing legal action as well because there is a lot more to the accident story I decided to keep out.)
In my opinion,

Have it checked out, but be prepared to let it go.

If it's mashed sheet metal like a quarter panel and that's some of the expense, that's one thing. If there's anything structural, let it go. I would not trust a loved one in a car that needed an assload of repair work.
