Default Totaled?

Yesterday, while making a right hand turn..a tractor trailer clipped the side of my car causing damage along the driver side bumper to bumper. Do you guys think it's totaled? Waiting for the body shop to give me an estimate. Most of it is cosmetic but there is some A pillar damage.

If no air bags deployed, i don't think it's totaled.

EDIT: just noticed damage to the A pillar, if its structural damage its a write-off.

What trim level, model year and mileage? Looks like at least a 2017.

$20g easily. If you purchased it outright or financed it, (i.e. your name is on the title or ownership) you don't want it back. If it ends up getting repaired, inquire with your insurance provider if you can apply for compensation for diminished value down the road if it is available in your state. Resale with that claim will hurt.

You are good then.

I would take it to your Lexus dealer's body shop or contracted one as you will be pretty much guaranteed zero headaches. They will most likely be on your insurance provider's "preferred" shop too.

Piller and rear quarter are pretty easy fixes. Gutting the doors for swap may take longer....

That sucks. Glad its on lease... But likely not totalled.
