bad cosmetic damage but the frame should not be bent, the box can be repaired as good as new bet the insurance might not agree

It's totalled but not really. It should be fixable using used parts. Insurance won't do it tho. Whoever buys it at auction will surely put it back on the road.

its definately fixable from a builder's stand point... looks like mostly cosmetic damage... but if the radiator was pushed back into the engine and it broke the mounts or something...then definately totalled. and not worth fixing.

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
look it's bleeding :-(

air bags will not total a car it has front link damage. meaning its bent at an angle that cant be straightened .front link is what hold the front wheel drive on these cars. its a weak point of the frame

The front subframe points can be removed and replaced. Most of the time if the bags blow it is enough to push it over the top moneywise to total it in the eyes of insurance. The nice thing is, these cars are easy fixes and soon see new life on the road with new owners.
