Rear Ended Damage. Is it totaled?

[elijahm]

I got rear ended a couple days ago, how does the damage look? How much do you think it will be? or will it be totaled?

We have no idea. Depends what’s under the bumper and if it pushed into the rear quarter panels or trunk floor.

Standard questions:

• Airbags?
• Drivable?
• Leaking fluids?

Hope all in car are okay.

The trunk is pushed in and is unable to open and close and there is some bumper frame damage i think. here is a pic.

Airbags weren’t deployed. The car is drivable but unable to lock because the trunk is not able to close or open. No fluids that I know of are leaking.

Also the little compartment in the trunk doesn't open anymore because of the accident.

Not giving advice here but, depending on potential internal access (avoid sharp edges), it might be possible to manually flip the trunk latch so it will registered as closed allowing the rest of car will lock. Body shop might be able to do that while estimating.
