yet, you are unhurt from the accident.
if you wanted stronger metal, then you should've paid more for a car and its insurance and gone for a bmw.

Is there another way I can still keep the car? | If u claimed... i think its too late to back out ( i dont work in the claims department =S ) if they take it back and figure out its more then 50% ( correct me if im worng) then it ususally will be written off.
U could buy ur car back and fix it.. but it will have a Rebuilt title, which sortta... DESTROYS ur resell value.. unless the buyer isnt too concernd after an inspection. i THINK if u have some parts on it that are still good (ie. rims) your alloed to grab them back and replace with stock ones.

Does anybody know how long it usually takes to get the estimate?
I was told I would be notified of the results of whether or not they'd write it off by office closing time tonight... and would be towed to the autobody tomorrow morning if it's approved, but I've gotten no calls yet...

just go ICBC and eat up the cost... lesson learned..
you will regret settle it under the table.. you never know if they will come back 1 year later to fuck you up or they reported to ICBC before you know it

Negotiate the value.
Look up Craigslist and Kijiji ads for the same car in similar condition/mileage to get an idea of the value.

Do they take into context that the car is an American import?

You'd be suprised how much a little fender bender would cost on cars... I was "lightly" tapped on the rear end of my integra, good thing I refused to do private, ended up needing bumper remolding, endplate weld/fix, alignmet, and repaint! Easy $1200... don't even bother doing private nowadays.

Yes but again, I've decided to follow through with ICBC. The damage seems to be too expensive. | The crumple zones are supposed to crumple. Yes, it may cost more to repair, but it is a safety feature. This is not necessarily a sign of cheap/light metal.
