Your car is NOT totaled. Don't always believe what a quote adjuster says, just use your logic.. Does the engine run? is the suspension firm? Do the tires rub? If you answered yes for all 3 questions, then your car isnt totaled!

Thats just a fender bender.


Heres an example of a wrecked car, specifically my old car I wrecked 3/30/11


It'd cost $13.8k to repair the damages.



Best of luck to you
It is totalled, her car is a 1994, and most likely has a lot of miles, the insurance company will not put more money into a car than it is worth, and probably won't put in half of what it is worth. The air bag alone is 975, then a NEW bumper cover is 200+, a headlight etc. Most shops buy OEM parts, and all that is not cheap, plus labor and parts

sorry, thread was tl;dr lol, but yes, those damn airbags really bite you in the ass. I didnt even have any passengers with me in my accident. I wish there was a switch to turn it off.
Me too - I have an JDM ITR Momo non SRS steering wheel & I am thankful I did because otherwise I could have a fucking broken nose right now :(

I am pissed because all the costs are the airbag repairs...and LABOR!

I was at work when I posted my post, so somehow I only saw a broken front bumper, but now I just saw the hood and everything.. They'd probably like to total it, but if theres no frame damage and nothing in the engine bay got shifted around, and the steering wheel is still attached to the wheels, and the suspension is still firm, then its just cosmetic damages. new hood, bumper, lights.. Good as new. Find this out...!

No, it may be fine, but it's still totalled lol... people don't seem to understand that the prices of all these parts, paint and labor add up quick... Especially with a $900 airbag
I guess we'll see huh? But I dont think paint and labor should be factored in.. Obviously thats going to jack up the repair total! But I would think parts for this car are really cheap/easy to find.. A single headlight for my old RX8 costs more than my new pair of taillights, headlights, bumper lights, and fog lights that I just got :shock: lol

Most body shops dont buy used parts, so OEM, and if they don't go with OEM parts, then I would not accept that as a proper repair from a reputable body shop... parts are not cheap, especially the pieces she needs, headlight (most likely), airbag, bumper cover... then paint and labor... It all depends on how many miles she has, and if they take it to a body shop that doesnt use OEM parts and puts used shit on the car.
