My guess at parts...

Left Rear Quarter
Both Driver side doors
Left Front Quarter
Left door sil ?
Windshield
Hood
Front Bumper cover
Driver side mirror
Left headlight ?
Wheels, 2-4?
Passenger side suspension?
If one of the doors won't close, I can almost guarentee the "frame's bent". Plus the cost of the Xenon headlight from the dealer alone (probably in the neighborhood of $3000) will quickly add up to total the car. And like Dean said, there's only like 2 or 3 parts on the body that aren't damaged.

To be honest, just like the WRX wagon, you probably don't want that car back if they repair it. The good news is that once again, the wreck isn't your fault, and I would guess that since a trucking company caused the wreck, their insurance is just going to want to settle ASAP and make you happy, so you shouldn't have a big problem getting the car's value.

Perhaps you can get enough to buy a WRX wagon straight up? Maybe an '03 or '04? I'd like to see a rebirth of "Debbie's Blue Wagon... now with STXL!!"
