it depends on the year and mileage (value), if it's an 04 with higher miles it'll probably be totaled. If it's an 06 with lower miles, the insurance company may take a chance at repairing it.

If you want it to be totaled, take it to a shop for an estimate, insist on OEM PARTS ONLY and that everything be repaired properly.

anything is fixable with a few exceptions. In most cases the insurance company will total out that car.

what i'm amazed with is the fact that none of the glass broke.

^ interesting that none of the glass did break ... but i think it will be totaled because of the airbag deployment

I vote for totaled. More than likely there is extensive B pillar and unibody (aft of the rear door) damage. Not to mention the quarter, doors,airbags, headliner, etc. Id push to have it totaled anyways....it would never be the same. Id insist on an expensive body shop, just to make sure..lol

When the damage (when/if repaired) exceeds the value of the vehicle...or at least the majority of it.

run water over the tops of the doors on the side that didn't get damaged. After doing that for a while, check the inside to see if water is getting in. This is how I could tell my unibody was damaged on an old car I had that had similar damage. The smashed in side didn't leak, but the good side did.

I consider it totaled the
B-pillar and quarter panel has too much damage and probably will cost way too much to repare
