Is this totaled??
Hey guys,
Just got into an accident, or was trying to avoid one, and ended up hitting the concrete on the ramp. Does this look totaled? Rear quarter panel needs to be removed/rewelded, skirts, rear bumper, right side rear suspension is completely trash, i couldn't even see my springs/strut/control arms, they looks smashed together. Last time I checked my car was valued around 15-18k on kbb earlier this year. Car has 55k miles on it, interior is clean minus the scratches on the door handle rest part.

Hard to have frame damage on a car with no frame.
Probably good, $7k to $9k in damage. The unibody looks intact, but will probably require slight pulling in the rear.

Doesn't look too bad. Should be fine, all depends on your insurance now.

no i was not trying to drift, i was on my way to a work seminar at 6am when this happened :[
Air bags didn't deploy. When I got backed into by another car a few months ago, they hit the rear quarter panel and I was quoted 4k to replace the whole thing. I ended up just having them pull it out and bondo the rest and paint. Not sure if they can pull and bondo for this, or have to replace the whole thing. I just checked kbb and car is valued at 16k, assuming exterior and paint is in good condition, but I already had body work done

I had some aftermarket parts on my '08, when the front took a minor hit last Fall. Allstate gladly replaced the clear front reflectors (with LED's installed) and the Z-Speed undershroud, just taking my word on what the parts cost. They added $450 to my settlement check and even offered to kick in some additional labor fees, although I installed the parts myself when the car was done at the body shop. YMMV.

I work at a bodyshop and i personally have seen worse. It all depends on the year of your car the mileage and if they get a high salvage bid for it. As long as the miles are low and the interior is in good shape you should be alright. Make sure the insurance adjuster takes into account of everything youve done to with whether it be your wheels the intake exhaust aftermarket stereo. All of that will up your chances of keeping your baby good luck
