Totaled? That looks deep. Wheel, fender, door, and so on.

Plan on buying it from insurance co cheap if they go that route?

It will be same color. They won't pay to repaint the entire car. I was backed into several months ago. Came out in the positive from the way she hit me and needed new litronics and got the hood & bumper sprayed.

ETA...very sorry to see that. I would be sick. Glad it wasn't your fault.

All mechanicals seem fine and hopefully top was protected by being down, car pulls a bit now, airbags didn't deploy and it's not totaled at least to my knowledge, has yet to be appraised. Thank you for the concern and I would die If it was my fault. Will they compensate for lost resale value, if not I guess I'm defiantly holding into this one as a 2.5 spec racer.

Likely no resale allowance. Maybe on a Ferrari.

It all comes down to what percentage of the car's BB value is the total repair bill, not can it be fixed.

Looks like a write-off to me.

Prepare to make some tough decisions.
