Does this look totaled to you guys?
Long story short i was involved in a front end accident. Its a 08 IS250. With 76K. I havent really looked at the frame yet because its at the tow yard but does this look totaled? Or fixable. No air bags went off.

If the frame is bend or cracked, then yes. I'd suggest going to a trusted mechanic and seeing their opinion. I see you're in CA, and I have a recommendation for you. I go to this auto body guy for my car and so do friends and family. I've seen him work on Old school Fairlady Z's to AMG benzes. Let me know if you're local around SoCal and I can give you his contact!

the front support beam hasn't bent so it couldn't have been a high mileage accident so it MAY be repairable. Depending on much frame damage there is, is really gonna decide but I would say that damages seen are on or around the value of the car so I am guessing total loss

Sorry guys i think the pic got deleted for some reason here it is again. But thanks for all the feedback so far! It doesnt look too bad in person but you know these lexus parts could be alot of money. If anyone had a similar accident and got it fixed please share your story!
