It seems like a lot of damage shown here is of the rear end variety.
Tough break,Rod.

So sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you're OK. You mention a new car, do you think that your insurance is going to write yours off?

Doesn't look like a write off to me, 5-6k tops. Unless your quarter panels flexed out or something that the pictures can't reveal

Rod may feel that the car was hit and not be comfortable with it after it's repaired.I had an '07 Camry V6 XLE that was in an accident.After it was repaired,I dumped it.The shop did a very good job with the repair but no shop can make a car factory perfect in every respect.Close but never perfect and that bothered me.I guess I'm too **** retentive when it comes to my vehicles.Ok,maybe not so much with the wife's vehicle.

I had a rear end accident in my IS that wasnt as bad as this one... the total came out to a little over $5k. This will probably be around $10k if not more. I bet the wheel wells buckled and the door gaps for the rear door are uneven. Can you open the rear doors?

Ok, I expected worse damage.

You're in Florida... you should take it to the body shop I took mine too. The guys there are great! The owner is Karl and it's called Karl's Body Shop. The number is (305) 251-7909 or (305) 251-6963. Ask for Karl and tell him Carlos with the silver IS referred you there.

The address is 10482 SW 186th Terrace.

Also, it doesn't look like there was enough for frame damage.

On my rear-end hit, the wheels wells buckled a tiny bit and both quarter panels were pushed in to where you could see the gaps of the rear door were off and there was no frame damage.
