A deer crushed my 9-3!!!

Doing 65 mph on a dark highway, a 500lb deer decides to jump from the ditch basically onto my hood, giving me zero warning time. Obliterated the entire front end except for the bumper, which seemed unscathed, so the airbag didn't deploy.
Besides the hood and headlight assemblies and such, there is significant damage to the front of the engine area. Needs a radiator, fan assembly, AC condenser. Total estimate $8,400!!!
My biggest concern now is will the car ever be the same? It's being repaired by the dealer recommended center, so I hope so. Now that the car has been wrecked, I will keep it until it's too expensive to drive.
2002 9-3 SE with 78k, it was very close to a total.
