I just recently totaled my Infiniti M56xS and the claims adjuster told me of the airbag deploys they total the car in most instances.

Get a few more quotes and see if it is the same wherever you go.

Good luck
Post some pics of the accident I'm curious how bad it was for a price justification like that.

Unless your color is very unique, I'd just buy a used door and replace it. With the door on hand (anywhere from $75-$350), and a friend to lend a hand, it should take no more than an hour to install & align it.
Video for example - https://youtu.be/FPGoYo1Duvs

But that's just the door. Your SRS systems might be all funky if you don't address rhe deployed airbag. And of course, the headliner will most likely stay damaged. None of these matter if you're just focusing on the exterior for now.

As far as you can tell, right?
If the impact caused any other structural damage it would be fun trying to fit the replacement door in there.
Does the door still open & shut as smoothly as it did prior to the accident?

i replaced my door myself. lucky got same color. door is aluminum but still heavy. you need to remove the side skirt fender and the 4 bolts and plug for wire. i did it alone but a second pair of hands would make it easier. door cost me 600 though. got a guy in queen that can reprogram the air bag for like 70 bucks. its located in the center console take like 15 min to program.

That's great
$20,000 is crazy
I would think the car to be unusable with a bid like that

Great work.

If you need
Factory Owners manual
Gray rubber factory floor mats
Black factory carpet floor mats
Trunk carpet liner
V8 engine cover (missing one of the tabs but looks great)
Factory spare tire
BC RACING coilovers (awd) with swift spring upgrade
SPC front upper control arms
Let me know
Thanks
Andy
