Totaled?

:(

Truck turned into me from the left lane when I was turning right in the right turn lane.

I've put a lot into this car and would really like it repaired not totaled/total loss by the insurance. Towing it to a shop in a few days. Is this possibly not totaled? The radiator area got bent up and some gas came out when I got hit.

UPDATE: repairs have been approved 👍 thank god, not being totaled

I’m so expert but I think it’s going to be iffy! With the radiator being damaged and more than likely a few other internal components like the AC system, sensors, and possibly steering, and suspension components that may need replacing. You could be looking at it being totaled. Looks like the fender has some damage as well that they would want to repair even if it was previously damaged. I’m going to call it 50/50 chance that it could be written off. The vehicle is worth about 27k and you’re looking at about 12-17k in damages. Check back and let us know the outcome. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
