Thumbs down Car got hit!!!

Where should I begin... On Thursday I was driving down Hwy 26 in Colleyvillle and this lady was slowing down to turn in to a shopping center.. so I start slowing down, but the 18 year old girl behind me didn't.. hit me going about 30mph.. the bumber is tore up, exhaust is hanging down and pushed under the rear axel, the driver side quater panel is bent to hell and pushed foward making the door not shut, the trunk wont shut, and the frame is bent behind the rear axel. So I want everyones opinion what they think is going to happen.. I have heard if the frame is bent they will total it, if they dont the body shop will have to put frame rails on the car.. I think that will hurt the resale value.. If they do if it will it ever be the same.. I will try to get some pic posted soon.
Thanks

im a bodyman and alot of people think it will never be the same after its been hit. i would take to a dealership bodyshop over any independent bodyshop for sure! if the frame damage isnt this bad they may pull it. but it sounds like you got slamed pretty hard! if you go thru insurance they may total it so got cet price quotes! GOOD LUCK MAN SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS! post pics!

If they do not total it, and repair it, be sure to ask the insurance company about "diminished value" They "may" give you extra money to cover the resale loss.

Well a buddy of mine was hit ALOT worse than yours and it drives better now than it did before the accident. I would call advantage autoworks in north richland hills on DAVIS blvd. Just go by there sometime and look at their shop. Pretty incredible.
