considered totalled??
^Yeah, that's the hardest part of dealing with a heavily damaged vehicle that doesn't get totalled out. Is there a "diminished value" law in CA? I dont know how that all works; but if you keep the car, someone can comment about that.

I'd consider it totaled to me personally, any car can be repaired back to 99.99% by the right people, Its "mentally" knowing your driving a vehicle that had a prior accident, Mentally it wouldn't feel the same for me, and as like others said, cough up a little extra for that 3IS or wait for the RC series. Glad your okay and good luck.

When i got into an accident, the insurance adjusters told me that if the airbags deploy, it is usually totalled but I think you have the option on what to do with it depending on how much damage there is.
Airbags are usually about $1500-$3000 each, depending on where they are located in the car. So they could be a significant portion of the repair cost in this case. Assuming no hidden damage, that could put you right on the borderline. Most insurance companies will pay full retail value for a totaled car.
