My deepest sympathies!! I recently (July) tried to fit under a Ford SUV (merging traffic and he slammed his brakes on) and did alot of front end damage to my 99 vert vette (mostly driver side) had to replace hood (very hard to locate)!! driver fender and front bumper and headlight. Ins paid $7800. my car has 85k miles. The only thing I am concerned about now is the paint match - not happy - clearly can't match 10 year old sunfaded black paint. They told me to wait until new paint cured , then will redo at buffing, blending. Good Luck to you!

Its Totaled....If it buckled the rear fender from a hit on the front your frame and all is screwed. Hate to say it but it looks like a total loss

Looking at his history, looks like at least it wasn't a total loss:
