Is this car totalled?
Had the car 6 years, 140000 miles wreck free, someone hit me head on cuz they decided to make their own lane, they wer doin about 40-50, i was pulling out doin 5-10, spun me 180 degrees. luckily not a scratch on me, but it happened on this holiday weekend so no adjuster can come out until monday. anyone know if this would be totalled or salvageable? if they do repair it, will it ever drive the same or should i hope for totalled?
on a positive note, it didnt pass inspection, had small oil and coolant leaks, and the throwout bearing was goin. so i don't have to do all that now.

Yes. Totaled.
DE hood = older 350z & estimated value
Looks like entire front clip replacement
Engine, radiator, fluids on ground
Both airbags popped
Labor and parts is going to be more than the car's value just based off of what I can see.

I'd say totalled for sure.
I had a "little" fender bender and the damage on this is nearly $10k, which is nearly a third of the value of the car.

Definitely totaled from the looks of the pictures. Glad you are okay -- the car can be replaced.

Daaaamn.
Your car is totaled. I'm willing to put money on it.
My sister was in a very similar wreck. It was totaled out, no questions asked.
Even if it wasn't totaled, you wouldn't want that car back if they fixed it.
It just wouldn't be the same anymore after a wreck like this.
Glad you're okay OP.
