Just want to know if my car looks like it's totaled or not
Welcome to CL. Sorry it couldn't be on better terms. I don't see it, but was there air bag deployment? Honestly just from a quick view looks like all you need are new Hood, bumper, grill and headlight. The question of what's under there ie if any frame damage would call for Totalling the car. This looks mostly cosmetic to me but again that's just looking at a picture. Adjuster and Body Shop will let you know more.
Well no airbag deployment but when I crashed car was smoking... Fluids leaking on the bottom... Check engine light is on... Other unknown lights are on as well : \

Looking at it and I work with repairs that's a week and half work once you get the parts. That car is fine just need some TLC and some parts which by the look at it are very easy to get.. now if you pop the hood let's see if anything is bent or broken that's a different story. But anything is fixable it's just at what cost we are willing to pay (hopefully insurance cover it all). But looking at that pic bro your car is fine I've seen much Worst that was up and running in weeks.

Lights mean the impact triggered some sensors based on the force.. The smoke could be a number of things. Is it always smoking or just at start up and go away after couple minutes..Originally Posted by Brittany37

Hard to say. Some cars are totalled that look like they have very minimal damage on the exterior, but the frame is damaged. Others look like hell, but have a straight frame and are put back into service.

It's not judging bro. It's a pic sent and opinion giving off the basis of the pic from someone who fixes cars everyday. That's why I said if he can pop the hood so we can see what the damage looks like can be a different story. So it's opinion based on the PIC PROVIDEDOriginally Posted by Hoovey2411

Yea but as you can see the most damage is on the hood ( not near the frame ).Originally Posted by BrettJacks
