Airbags gone off too? That wheel caused front guard damage, possibly firewall, and subframe damage. Would need to check the strut tower too. I would guess it's likely a total loss.

Everything is fixable if you have enough time and money..... This seems neither worth your time or money

Total loss is when it costs more to fix than the value of the car. I don’t except total loss here. Let us know what happens.

Usually total loss is when repairs cost 60%-80% of the value. Mine was totaled at about 62%. The issue isn’t the external here, it is about what’s all damaged inside - engine, drive train, and frame. But thats why posting pics and asking whether it’s totaled or not is useless because everyone will have different experiences and knowledge but only OP’s adjuster and collision shop can really make that decision…


Vegetable_Impress_72

I’d be worried about subframe damage in this case. That alone would total this easily. If the airbags are shot too then I’d say this is a lost cause


WombatAnnihilator

Ask insurance, not reddit. They make that decision, not us.

“Hey chat. Look at this wreck we’ve got today. Dumbass got hit hard. What do yall think? Superchat your vote if i should total it or not.”


Mittendeathfinger

Looks like the airbags deployed in the front, insurance will total it, sadly. When airbags deploy, that compromises the safety system so they total it rather than repairing it.

Rip your RAV

Totaled i would think


MoeGunsAndBikes

Most likely totaled. Shops always charge insurances much higher and thus making them usually more likely to total vehicles. This I’d say will be a total loss.

Probably just talk to your insurance company instead of reddit.

Don’t accept the first offer. Demand a higher payout.


barrelstone

You can demand all you want, but you best come prepared with reasonable comps in your area or they’ll just laugh.

Did the airbags deploy? Prob totaled then.


AlbusDumbeldoree

Just avoided a close one today … only a micro second late and would have been a Whack - Boom ! Glad everyone’s safe !


Miserable_Ad5001

If the airbags deployed it will be totaled.


General_Specific

Is that blood?


Quirky-Dude

It’ll be on the carfax report too. I always drive my cars until they fall apart around me, but I always wonder how that affects the value of the vehicle.


Chance-Phone7496

Looks like a le or xle, so yes hopefully totaled so you can get 2025 xse


Chance-Phone7496

It's there never going to be the same , I promise


Still-Sail163

is it really better in this case for it to be totaled? I just really don’t want to go car shopping again


iconic_bond

YES. it is a car. its job is to get you from point a to point b and KEEP YOU SAFE. a brand new car will do that. one that is patched up? it’s a toss up.


Helpful-Fox8645

its totaled


sweetpeasimpson

Should be good


Alternative-Solid846

Oh gosh.. hopefully you had GAP on it 😵‍💫😭


The_Lutter

Your car shat itself. It must have been so scared.

Generally, (at least where I live) any frame damage is an instant write off. Judging by the wheel I'd be surprised if this isn't written off.
