Can be fixed or totaled?
2014 Acura TL v 6 tech package... was in an accident recently.... just curious if you think it can be fixed or should I be preparing myself to find another Acura?

Damage doesn't look too bad. Can it be fixed? Absolutely. A body shop can fix most anything, and that damage is well within the range of being fixable, for a shop.
are you paying yourself, or are you going through insurance? Insurance may want to total the car, but you always have the ability to buy it back from the insurance company, for pennies on the dollar, and use your insurance pay out to fix it yourself. The only issue is your car will have a salvage title, making it harder to sell in the future... but this is assuming it is deemed a write off by the insurance company.
What it comes down down to is two things: mileage and age. Your car is only four years old. We don't know how many miles are on the car, though. Based on just the age, I can't imagine the insurance company writing the car off... but again, your mileage plays a role in this also.
From what I see, you need a new hood, grill, headlight, rad support, rad, etc... it won't be a cheap repair... but I don't think it's a write off.

The process, in Maryland, isn't terribly difficult to navigate. The after repair inspection, isn't even that thorough! The MVA here, just kind of "eyeballs" the car! In Maryland, however, the title is still branded.

Is that $9,000 estimate from a shop or is that just your guesstimate?
