ill bet its totaled. from the looks of the creases in front of the rear tiers, and the glass work needed on the back edge of the hatch. i'm not a body guy, but from what i would guess it is.

BTW- how did you lock your brakes up? abs not working?

Probably $5000 in damage. It could be repaired cheaper than that if you can do some of the work yourself. I would buy it back from the insurance for sure to rebuild it though.

They will total the car if the repair cost exceed 80% of the cars value. You should be able to get it fixed. Good Luck.

It is an easy fix, but unfortunately it will be a total. Easy fix though, good luck with it.

depends on your insurance company. we just had like an 04 tl that was 92% totaled and allstate called to fix it. personally if a cars 80% totaled its almost not worth fixing unless the only reason its totaled is because of high mileage or something. but id say that looks to be about 5000 in damage.

they will more than likely total your car,mainly due to age and current market value!
personally i would buy it back if the option is there and repair it,i have definately repaired worse! sorry this has happened fortunately noone got hurt!

it is way more then a grand grand in a half. dont forget the berger will have to be replaced. the hatch has a crack and is bent. both quarter panels have creases in them so they will have to be replaced also.

unfortunately it will be totalled. i dont think you have any framt damage, but the damage to the rear of the car is substantial and has offset the lock on the hatch. personally i would buy it back, and bang out the dent from inside the trunk with a sledge hammer until you can get the berger mounted straight again and the bumper mounted back in the original position.

i dont think the damage is worth getting rid of what looks like a very nice car, especially for a 94

im 50/50 with gettting rid of it. but it is going to come down to how much money they give for the total. my dad has been talking to me about selling and buying an 02 ss (b4 the wreck). and i have been putting off. but it has high miles and an oil leak that cant be solved so im starting to give in. might buy back and buy a 02 ss. if i do that i might still keep my 94 as my project car. or part it out piece by piece (would hate to do that though since its in really good shape)
