Please help.

Can Anyone please help me on how much this might be to fix. I think the insurance company wants to total it but its deff not. It wasent even a 10 mph impact and the air bags dident even deploy. Iv found almost all the parts I need to fix my baby fairly cheap. I'm trying to get a good estimate to work with the insurance company. They valued my car at about $7,000.

10mph impact can do quite a bit of damage. Keep in mind the bumpers are only supposed to take a 2.5mph direct impact and have no damage to the safety equipment. Doesn't matter if any cosmetic damage happens.

If they total it just keep the check and they usually offer you a chance to buy it back cheap. Then use your parts you found for cheap and fix it yourself

Completely missed the bumper...so even low speed will easily crumple the hood and fender.

Totaled or not? I guess that really depends on how much damage there is under the hood and fender. Did the fender get into the driver's door? How much stuff under the covers got smushed? We can't give you a real estimate anyways...not nearly enough detailed pictures....nor are we there to really take a closer look like the insurance adjusters are.
