WTF. Did they drive it and let the muffler catch on the tire, wrapping it around the rear frame? How does it even work like that?

Right?! The exhaust pipe hanging out under the rear tire hub frame. What stood out to me is the huge gapping metal hole in the exhaust that looks to be rubbing against your new tires...not gunna be new for long. "Runs Great"....pssh...just in shock I tell y'all!

I'm sure they did the tires, brakes, and engine BEFORE some small car tried to embed itself into the right rear quarter panel....
Anyway, with that amount of damage, unless you run a professional body shop I would steer clear.

Sounds like a bad day for some someone looking for a cheap fix. Most likely frame damage also. If it was as simple as replacing some sheet metal you would think that the insurance company would fix it.

Guess it could be fixed, but $11K to start with just isn't going to get it gone. I wouldn't pay more than $5K for it to take on that project and that would be if the rest of it was really nice.

Exactly. It'd make a great off road rig.

If it is totaled or not relies on the value of the vehicle as much as it does the damage. That would be fixed if it was a 2015 GX.
