I believe when my old Mustang got totaled the amount to fix the car was way more than the car was worth. And I think your accident looks worse. But then again, I dont know much about repairs.







I guess that's what you get when you leave Cobra centers on your rims

It looks totaled to me... If its paid off it might be a good thing. I totaled my old truck a few years back and they ended up giving me way more than expected. I actually had her up for sale on autotrader for 16k (wasnt stock, intake, tune, headers, wheels, hood, lowered, etc, etc) but you know when you sell they dont give you what its actually worth... Anyway they covered ALL my mods, and the adjuster even let me keep sound system, tvs, borla exhaust, and intake, the rest was impossible to take off since it was either damaged or just a pain in the A$$ to get off. They ended up giving me 19k. I ended up buying a truck that was nearly brand new at the time 04 Z71 fully loaded with 10k miles. I was really happy with State Farm.

sorry to hear about the accident but a lot of the time if not most of the time having your car totaled is a good thing as long as your insurance company gives you a reasonable amount of money. I wouldnt want to try and resell a car that has been in that kind of damage if it isnt totaled. The carfax on that car prob looks like **** now but good luck with it and Im sure something good will come out of it.

Glad u r ok, but my guess would be a total, but might be a good candidate for a salvage rebuild if you can buy it back cheap.
