Did the air bags deploy? If they did then it's totalled because new air bags cost more than $1000 to replace. Also, your frame looks pretty damaged. Based on my experience I would tow it to a body shop and have the insurance adjuster come down to check otherwise they'll give you a very low offer because they'll assume you know nothing about the car. You need to compare the body shop's estimate with the insurance's estimate.

Hey guys,
So I got into an accident last week and I'm wondering if you guys think it's totaled. I think it is, and I hope it is (as sad as that sounds ) It has 7500 miles on it, insurance adjuster is going to look at it today but I'm wondering what everyone here thinks? Let me know guys

I'm lucky to be alive and thankful I can drive such a beautiful car. I will definitely keep you posted.

Be very thankful you are alive! I had a friend earlier this year total his 15 GS immediately after purchasing it within a few miles before even getting it to his house and he totaled his car, in a similar condition as your IS, by hitting a deer. He was lucky and so are you! Personally , your car is gone/totaled in my opinion.

Wow, I got hit by a car going 40-45. And the GS's are more expensive than the IS's, so I'm thinking that my car is more than likely totaled if that's the case. Does your friend have any pics that you could share?

Yes, I'm very thankful. It took me a few days to get that crazy feeling of, "I could of died" feeling out of my mind.

Oh shoot, I read that one already haha. Well, my insurance adjuster said there's 18k in damage that she can see, and that the shop will take it apart and try and find other damage. You guys think that there will be significant damage after they take it apart? I'm sure hoping so

Are they basing the value on a car with no claims? Your car got hit already, with two claims the value would be diminished a lot, especially after these two accidents making it impossible to sell if you own it. I'd press to get the car written off. Glad to hear you weren't hurt and I am impressed with how the front of IS held up, looks to me like a very safe car.
