Default OUCH wrecked my Scion XB (with pictures)

I wrecked my XB today going down a hill slid on some ice lost control and hit into a car on the side of the road. very little damage was done to the other car but mine is a mess. I am still waiting for the insurance to decide if it is Totaled or not.
Both air bags were deployed, it was leaking fluid and will not start.
Do you think it will be considered a total loss or fixable?













Here is what it useto look like

Airbags are expensive to replace and install + repairing the front end would cost a lot of money + rental car for you = TOASTED XB i mean totalled

well, i would say it is fixable, because i had basically the samething happen to me. If you want an estimate as to how much it might cost, i paid 6000 for mine. It is a lot and might be worth it to see if the insurance can just total it.

Good luck with everything!

While I'm sure it is fixable, for insurance purposes it is almost certainly totaled.

Sad to see another xB Classic go down.

Was it a bulldozer or something? Or Fred Flinstone's car? Lol.

Sorry about this. I hope they just deem it a total loss to save you from further headaches.

If both airbags deployed, they'll total it.

Sould be fixable is the key but with both bags blown will cause it to not be fixable insurance wise.
You'd be smart to take the max you can get from insurance, buy it back and have it fixed using used parts. The impact looks minor but you won't know for sure till it gets taken apart. I wish you luck and feel bad for ya.
