Hello, I crashed my car, but it is drivable; the impact bent the rear axle and the trunk, bumper, right rear quarter panel, are totaled, the damage goes across to the left wheel well. (No leaks, right rear lights are gone). This car repaired will be the best option for me because it has otherwise been kept in prime condition. Long distance mileage was over 40 MPG. What should I get fixed first? If parts are not locally available, should I contact the factory?

Can you upload images of what you are talking about? This is kind of difficult to guess at, in the meantime here is an exploded view of the rear suspension so you can see what parts there are. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
