The other thing is if that back pillar is bent at all. Then they will say it compromises the integrity of the roof and total out for that.I really don't think so, but I don't know yet. The car's probably worth $5000, maybe? (105,xxx miles) In NC, if it's more than 75% of the value of the vehicle, it's a good candidate for being totaled.
The Tour Bus got rear-ended today :-(
I'll find out in a couple days what will happen.. Personally I think it'll be 50/50 shot between repairing or totalling:View attachment 212061

I am more interested in seeing a pic of the interior and how it fared in what seems to be a moderate rear end collision. Did you take any interior pics? I am sorry for this by the way, most likely someone texting or monkeying around with their damn phone.
My 2007 5 (A Sport 5 spd) was destroyed in a rear end collision where I slid backwards into oncoming traffic and was hit at a combined speed of about 65MPH. You would know in an instant if the floor/third row had sustained damage. My hatch literally exploded into about a million pieces, and the passenger side rear tire was driven up under the gas filler (a HARD hit to say the least) My drivers seat-back broke, folded backward, the headrest flew off, and i hit my face on the passengers side trim covering the curtain airbag on that side when it deployed. Other than that small cut and a sprained neck, I walked away. The fact that your hatch is intact and can be opened tells me the car is fixable, glad she did her job and protected you.

WAAAAYYY better then the WS Specials. I personally hate chrome. Heavy, ugly and gangsta looking. JMO
Looks like a bumper cover, a hatch, and some fender work. Surely not a total, right?
I don't know man. I wouldn't want the inconvenience of having to find another car with only $5K-$7K. It's tough to find a good car for that anymore, at least one that's reliable for the family. I'd be glad they're fixing it, for sure. But that's just me.
