Flip it over, cause it is done.

Hopefully not your fault and insurance handles it, but if you were to go the fixing it up route (which will not be worth it IMO) then know it will never be the same....Had many past cars hit and repaired and I always noticed flaws such as paint and body lines not matching like before. (one of my many pet peeves)

Whoa,
That TL is just beyond gone, junk it.

Sorry, what happened? Too many parts that would just be too costly/not worth it to repair.

I've learned in life that there are people that are great at doing some things and not others.

Can't bash them for that.

^ Like quoting the pictures.

Sad to see but yes, totally totalled. Just that rear fender along with airbags pretty much buries it.

It's the coffee that makes people crabby..
Gotta drink hot chocolate or tea instead.

Getting back on topic, yeah it's safe to assume the insurance company won't pay for repairs and will just total it unfortunately...

But I am in to hear what happened to get the car into that kind of condition.
