Default Accident, car could be totaled

On my way to work this morning, a lady makes a right in front of me running a red light without even slowing down. Laws of physics had me moving until I hit her car and now this Body shop estimate came up to $5,500 and they say car might be totaled. State Farm is the insurance she has, and car has about 295,000 miles. Whatever they give me won't get me back in another GS300 without me shelling some out of pocket money

They are taking it apart today to see if there is more than meets the eye and I will know for sure tomorrow.

Yea its totaled. But theres no reason why you wont get another one. Doesnt matter how much the repairs are, the insurance gives you the value of the car usually full bluebook. Just get the money and get another or any car of choice
