I had my L33 since brand new and I love it. Haven't had any problems with it at 130k right now.

That should make the little truck more fun to drive!

I'd recommend checking the rotating assembly for oil starvation while you're replacing that pan, since the filter and pan seem to have been destroyed in the accident. Hopefully the driver turned the key off at the time of the accident.
