if not totaled, it will be extremely close to it.

Its hard to tell from just one photo, but I mean a T-bone situation is bad: you've most likely got frame damage, you've deployed multiple airbags, and you have fairly extensive body damage. I wouldn't get my hopes up of the insurance company fixing it, they will probably total it out. Good luck!

anything is fixable with money (remember that ebay listing with the salvaged TL-S?).

I am going to have to say depends on you're insurance company. If they are cheap and can find a shop willing to take on the repairs meanwhile getting parts for cheap they will have it fixed. If they aren't cheap they will total it out.

Best of luck on whatever they do.

It is impossible to tell by eye what the damage is. The angle of the impact, speed, etc all play into what was bent under the skin.

Get it to a good body shop and they can tell you once they can measure body/wheel geometries.

I say fixable but I would push for it to be totaled. If you are forced to repair it, you should check out MAC in Glen Cove.

any good insurance would most likely total. i see cars at the auctions for way less damage. both doors, and the quarter..plus curtain bag and the seat and module..you should get like 15k? depending on miles

but it is possible to be fixed just would be alot of money.

Had the same thing happen to mine a year ago. Shop charged my insurance company over $10k to get mine back on the road. It's an '04 and had about 60k miles on the clock at the time. I was concerned about losing the car, but Allstate took care of the claim with no questions. IMO, pays to go with a big name insurance provider.

EDIT from my previous post: Just noticed that you had air bag deployment on that side of the vehicle. Yikes... That may put things a bit over the top to be covered by insurance. Good luck, mate! I hope everything turns out well for you in the end.
