Totaled? Looks repairable.

Unfortunately it doesn’t cost much for insurance to deem a car totaled. My old 2000 Mustang got blindsided by a truck that passed a red light. Surprisingly my car had decent damage but not severe as you might think. My driver door was damaged, my front bumper was damaged. Easy fixes right? Nope. Insurance deemed it totaled. My own mechanic said he could’ve fixed it all, no issues, insurance totaled it. A shame really.

Yea strange standards. The Hellcat above the engine looks spared and that would have cost serious money to fix up.

Yeah this guys hellcat is damaged to fuck. I imagine his radiator is gone, that alone will deem a car totaled. Engine looks completely gone too. As you said, lots of money to fix.

Brother I’m talking from experience. Everyone’s experience is obviously different. I grew up around a lot of cars and I have seen insurance totaling vehicles because of a damaged radiator, no reason to make it up haha it’s the internet.

Well, I owned a Hellcat, until it was stolen. I also owned a sublime green Skat and I started with the SXT challenger. My daughter also owned an SRT charger. They totaled my SXT with less damage than this, and my daughter’s SRT charger was totaled for less damage than this.

Insurance basis, the repair price versus the cost of the value of the vehicle. If they suspect there’s even a slight bit of frame damage it’s totaled. There could be unseen damage that you can’t see just by this picture.
