Totaled or repairable?

[jenalila.ficek]

My insurance is dragging its feet getting my 21 tm3 to a body shop for an estimate. I'm curious if you all think it'll be totaled or should I start looking for a loaner car for an extended repair?

Airbags?
Hard to say without taking few things off
Probably fixable but it'll be a lot since rail got damaged...

On a normal car that is totally repairable on a 3 thats a 50/50 shot. Its pretty localized damage but the crumply bits have indeed crumpled. With the recent crash of the used market it may get written off

I believe 3/Y are metal so i consider them normal cars
S/X aluminum body is another level...

Should buff out.

Insurance is complaining about a 240 line estimate with "lots of needless testing" like Autopilot.

I've removed the Ins. Co. from the critical path by having them pay me. Parts are on order.
