For sure. That is extensive.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Also the airbags did not deploy

Assuming it’s not written off… Aren’t they supposed to pay you out for devaluation resulting from repairs? If not, fight for it.

that’s dead being 2018

Well one thing I know for sure: strangers on Reddit are much better at repair estimates than actual body shops.

Vtuned garage can fix it.

If it is repaired, you’re entitled to a diminished value payout.

Talk to your insurance.

Someone at the auction is going to be happy to get it

That frame looks exposed and it’s likely been deformed.

I’ve seen cars with much less damage get totaled.

Yes, definitely a write-off

Chances are probably not depending on it’s value. That may be 12-15k in damages, possibly less. I would say the car is worth around 30k.

This is a write-off. Here is what I’m basing it on:

1. Look at the alignment of the rear quarter/C pillar versus the back door - the entire frame and skin has been pushed forward and inwards. The car is now slightly parallelogram shaped.

2. The rear wheel was moved forward on impact enough to dislodge the lower brightwork along the bottom of the rocker panel. The rear suspension/driveshaft has some give but may be out of alignment.

3. The honeycomb/corrugated rear corner structure is damaged - it’s not easy to cut out and weld in a new bit as it’s all formed together for strength.

If the hit was a foot higher this might be fixable, but this has serious but subtle structural damage that is too expensive to fix properly on a 5 year old car.

You could put this on a rack and stretch some metal back out and slap new bumper support, cover and light back in and it would look fine, but it would never drive properly ever again.

Write-off.
