Totaled or Not Totaled?

Hello! I was side-swiped on a highway. I just wanted to get few opinions on if the car is going to be totaled or not? The car will be in a storage for few months most likely because can’t find any appointments until mid-Nov to early December. Thank you in advance.

Looking a bit of a hot mess. Looks like a lot of damage. I think as long as the battery and electrical were not compromised, and of course the frame is straight, it might be a fixer upper.

It looks like a hard call to me, but I'd guess that as long as the battery has not been compromised, they won't consider it totaled.

I'd sure as hell want it totaled if I were you. It's close, but I could see them wanting to fix it.

If it’s not totaled it’s gonna take a while to repair it.

Highly unlikely that will be totalled

The front end fender damage and the doors will simply all be replaced with new parts, painted and blended to so so match the rest. Bolt on replacements.

No rear quarter panel, rocker damage or frame damage which would all put the fix into $10-15-20K territory.
