Default Had it for a month, Wrecked

On my way back from making my first payment, BOOM got rear ended by a work truck
Air bags deployed on driver side front and back..
From your guys experience does it look totaled, I can only imagine the cost of the damage upwards 10k.
Heres the front he pushed me in to a tow hitch which made a hole in my bumper both siders are loose and headlight surroundings are all cracked.

I'm not an insurance agent by any stretch of the imagination but most likely. The cost to repair those rear quarter panels and possibly floor assy. would be very high. Hope you are okay

Being that it's a 7 year old car, I'd imagine it's totaled as well.

If there's any good news it'll be hard for them to offer you less than what you paid for the car since you just got it.
