I tend to agree with the others about it being totaled but would suggest it’s not a “given”. I had a similar mishap a couple years ago. Like you, mine also trashed the bumper cover (worse than yours) but spared the hood. It did, however, also damage, to the point of requiring R&R, my right front fender, radiator/condenser and (importantly) the right headlamp. Litronic—those puppies are ridiculously expensive. (Have you ascertained whether your headlamp will need to be replaced?) No frame damage. I was relatively sure my insurance company would total it—but they didn’t. Mine is a newer car: 2001, and is an “S” model. OTOH, I had over 95k miles. Let us know what happens.
