I'm going to have to agree. There has got to be some frame damage. I say totaled.

Ouch. At least the IS did its job and protected you and your passengers, and you apparently walked away with no injuries. In the olden days the fuel tank may well have ignited.
No airbag deployment because they are designed for frontal impact.
Totalled? Yeah, could be. There has got to be frame damage.
I refuse to drive anymore on New Years Eve. I either stay home, or go to hotel, party, and stay over. There are just too many losers out there.

Thank goodness you and your friends are okay. I hope the officer is also okay. Enjoy and post photos of your new car when you get her! I hope it won't take too many weeks/months until the insurance company cuts you the check.

Well some good new.. Insurance and gap paid off the car, only issue is I put 5k down at the beginning which I am now at a loss. The guy who hit me did not have insurance. Good thing Michigan is a no fault state.
I spoke with a sales guy he was no help, my sales lady called, and I told her I was already shopping around, Infiniti and BMW both had my attention with 0 down. She said she would call me back within the hour.
In order to avoid the 5k and get into a new car without any down payment. Currently building a house and funds are pretty tight.
I have to accept a DEMO, which has 2800 miles and was driven by my sales lady, an older lady. Smokey Granite in Color IS250 AWD with Navigation.
I previously had 07' Is250 base model totalled at 12k miles. wo/ navigation.
Whatcha think? Shop around, or take it?

Personally, I think a Lexus at this point in your life is a luxury you really can't afford, especially if you can't put anything down. If you are building a house that is where the funds should be going, not in a flashy ride. Get some basic transportation for a few years (like a Corolla or Camry) and build up your savings, then shop for a Lexus. Just my opinion from what you have said.
