i am fairly sure your car is not totalled------the front looks definitely fixable ---new light and some body work----the rear looks a little warped but i dont think it is anything a half decent body shop couldnt fix----to be honest i think i could fix that myself.

Good luck man and the main thing is that your ok--------hope it all works out

I think its repairable but I got quotes from 5 shops today all ranging between 7-8k however I could do all the work and get it painted for around 4k and that's with extra cash for me

I'd highly recommend starting with a fresh car. Buy it back from insurance co and swap over the parts if you want, but don't put good money after bad when you have better choices.

^^ I agree. Doesn't the car have roof rust issues as well? I would hunt down a rust free shell and spend a weekend swapping parts.

Body shops are notoriously bad for overcharging---as are alot of mechanics but thats another story-----when u say u can do the work tyourself please tell me what you mean by that-----do you know how to do body work?

If so im quite sure you can get that done for much less than 4 grand----------if you have to pay 4 grand to get it fixed i think u would be better off getting another car-------how many miles are on that one is a big deciding factor---if they are low keep it ---if theyare high get rid of it.

If you pop out those dents and hammer what you can out (or in)-----strip the paint to bare metal and start laying the bondo in you could do a very big improvement to that car by yourself----im concerned with how the back seems a little warped--------im not sure how i would fix that -----anyways man good luck hope it works out
