They might just total it. The damage sounded worse in your description than in the pictures, though. I'd be tempted to fix it. A few hundred dollars worth of junkyard parts could probably get it legal and mostly straight again. If they give you $2500 to fix it and you can drive it again for $500, you're 2 grand to the good on your next Volvo. If they do total it, you can always buy it back from them for a small sum and still do the repairs. Or not.
