Yeah it's already been determined the other guy's fault. Estimate completed today for $10843.24 and tomorrow I'll find out if State Farm will total it. Frame rails are bent, trunk floor is crushed, quarter panels buckled on both sides, drivers seat no longer reclines because the frame bent from holding me upright..I don't want it repaired so I'm definitely gonna fight for a total loss.

Damn, ~$11k?! That's just about half the cost of the car, so I'm sure you can fight for a total loss. Also, I thought that frame damage alone was enough to justify it.

Sorry to see all that damage, looks totaled.

I would not want that car back unless you can fix it for half and pocket the difference. Either way its never going to be the same and reselling it a pain.

I'll be surprised if they total the car. The total loss threshold in CA is Cost of Repairs + Salvage Value ≥ Actual Cash Value. Depending on what they assign as a Salvage value will really determine if you are close.

There are two other strategies as well.

1. Make sure they are using OEM parts for the replacement and not aftermarket
2. Look at the estimate and see if you can find things that need fixed that they are not accounting for

Both of those will drive up the estimate and get you closer.

That's a borderline damage analysis to warrant a total loss.
But I'm gonna predict they total it tbh.
Keep us updated with what state farms decides!
Glad everyone is ok tho!

Damn! Hope you’re okay.

Happy R shopping! Unfortunate that the price just increased, but sure you could find a great deal.
