yep i totaled my car
I say screw all that, if your insurance says it's a "total loss". That could be a good thing! I had a total loss on a 1994 TA with really low miles. AAA gave me over $10,000!
And guess where that money went to? hmmmmmmmmm
Plus a local bought my TA for like $1,000 bucks, and put it back on the street. But your car does not look nearly as bad as mine was. I'm just saying, if the insurance company offers a total loss with a nice price tag to it. Take it, it's a freebee! Someone else will part your old ride (which I doubt) or put back together.

You have over 800 in parts. If it has frame damage I wouldn't have it repaired unless the facility fixing it has a computerized measuring system. Unfortunatly in the collision industry there are 10x more bad body techs than good ones. I have been doing this for 22 years and work for a Lexus certified collision center, just remember, no matter what anyone tells you, it will never be as good as factory. It can be repaired to function properly but never put back as the factory built it.
that sucks to see. that happened to me a few years ago, and in still pissed about it. i wasnt mad at first cause i knew the insureance would handle it....until they totaled it out. i was in a situation where i couldnt buy it back. so just make sure you get something better than before or youll stay pissed.

the only reason they totaled it was b/c it would take more money then they wanted to give to fix it. so YES it is fixable but as that one guy said it will never be like it was. It will always be different.
