My G/F had hit a deer with my ZX5 Christmas weekend. Nobody was hurt other than the deer was hauled off by a truck and my car hauled off by a Flat bed.
I let the car go to the insurance. After buy back value and parts put into car I could have bought another car for about the same price.
As for the replacement it is a 06 Wagon SE Auto. I bought this car for less than the buy back was for the ZX5.

Wow, sure took a long time for your ZX5 to come up on the salvage auction. At least I think it's yours. It's up this Friday. If this question is out of line I totally understand. How much did they pay you for the car? The info on the website shows actual cash value of $8,325. That is supposed to be the amount paid out, I've never had the chance to ask someone if it really was, or just a made up number.
My guess is that it was ABT (auto body technitions). They had another Focus there, and I've seen others from them at this place before too. I think it only got a bid of $3800, but I was distracted by a jabber jaw at the time.
