Ouch!!!! Sorry for your mis fortune glad your alright. I think it's repairable, but I really don't know anything about body work. Maybe someone else will chime in with some experience. Good Luck.

Bodywork looks repairable, but it's the structure underneath that will make the difference.

Good luck however it turns out.

Doubtful that’s enough damage to total it.

Methinks that'll be a wrap for that one. Unfortunately.

Does it steer somewhat properly? Looks like it didn't get too deep into the wheel assembly so that's a plus! I doubt it's totaled from what it seen and the fact no airbags deployed, but underneath will be the deciding factor. Sorry for the accident and good luck with the outcome.


Looking more closely I now see the canted wheel/tire, soooo...hopefully it's just the initial assembly and not the frame!

Repairable, unless there is major fame damage... Hope no one was hurt.

As long as the frame is not damaged, I would say that it most likely will not be totaled.

Get some of that tape they use on NASCAR cars...... Or one of those BIG band-aids!

Like many others have said... if no damage in the rails... It can be fixed.

good luck!

More than $10k, less than $20k is my amatuer guess. That's if no frame damage. Just body panels and right wheel suspension components.

Unless the frame is damaged I do not think it is totaled.

Like others have said, without looking at the structure of the vehicle, it's hard to tell. Looks like it's going to be some front suspension parts, new fender, headlight and some misc brackets. Need to peel back the onion a little to know more.
