I have known for a while now that one does not simply stuff their car into the wall at the ring and carry-on without denting their wallet, I found a typical cost breakdown which I converted into USD and rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
"Optional extras available at additional cost include armco repairs, safety car attendance, vehicle recovery, track closure, hospital stays and helicopter rides. I recommend avoiding these. If you can't, then the following price-list may help:
Base fee for attendance of armco truck: $204
Removing damaged armco: $14/metre (x2 or x3 or x4 for multiple-height sections)
Replacement armco: $42/metre (x2 or x3 for double/triple height)
Removing damaged armco posts: $7 each
Replacing armco post: $53 each
Safety car attendance: $112 per 30 mins (car + 2 people)
Circuit closure: $1,838 per hour
Recovery truck: $258 (inc VAT)
Hospital stay & air ambulance: Let's just say, do NOT go there without travel insurance! (Though a European Health Card - which replaced the E111 - may cover the hospital bit.)
Everything except the recovery truck is then subject to 19% VAT.
The record armco bill I'm aware of is $20,400. That was a car that managed to flatten a very impressive length of armco between the Quiddlebacher Hohe bridge and the crest on the approach to Flugplatz. But even a minor bump can turn into a surprisingly expensive day out."
