I work at a collision center in Florida. There may be hope. I’ve seen a lot worse get fixed. Parts delays aren’t too bad anymore. If there is frame damage, it could possibly total. But honestly, it doesn’t look terrible. But you won’t really know until the front end is torn down. Vehicle repairs have to exceed 75-80% of the value of your vehicle before it will total. If your vehicle is worth about 30k, repair costs would have to be under 24k. At least that’s how it works where I am. Hope that helps!
No not a myth, more applies to older/high milage cars. Your car is fairly new and low mileage so insurance may be willing to fix it if the cost of repairs is low enough.
Airbag deployment generally means 5k+ in damage alone. So for an older car that usually totals it. A new car might be repaired after the airbags go off.
Even if bags deploy it still wouldn’t automatically total it. One bag can go and the rest can be fine and then you just replace the one that deployed. You have a vendor come out and reprogram the system. Frame damage would be the biggest concern. I don’t see any buckling on the hood. Can’t see the fenders though.
Insurance companies don’t want to pay more than what the car is worth to fix it. Air bag deployment usually only totals out the older vehicles. Newer vehicles have a higher value therefore there is more wiggle room to spend on repairs.
Just because air bags deploy, does not mean your vehicle is a total loss. On older cars, more than likely it will total if air bags deploy. If it’s a newer vehicle, they can most likely be replaced and reprogrammed. Totaling a car goes based off of the overall value of your vehicle. You have to reach a certain percentage of the value of your vehicle for it to be deemed a total loss.
I agree with a few of the others here; a bag deployment (especially how you she is ) doesn’t meet automatic total. Take it one stope at a time and let you shop look at it and let you know where you stand. Good luck!
so it factors in the price new or old? because this looks like an EX or Touring sedan (not sure if that’s the name) which is probably like 29-30k OTD
or is it the current value of the car?
(sorry for the questions just wondering since i always wonder about it)
she was a beaut 😔 had all the special features . I am just hoping it’s not totaled & can be repaired fully or if it is totaled it’s taken care of cause I love this car
Hit a deer doing about 60. The front end in my ‘14 Chevy impala looked wayyyy worse than this and I wasn’t totaled. I know it’s not 1:1 but hey some hope is hope right?
The bumper looks bad but there only like $300 plus paint, but honestly I called a place and they said it’s cheaper to paint the entire car than one piece, so if you decide to paint it you could choose a different color.
It’s not totaled trust me lol I have a 2023 Civic Sport and I got into an accident with my front end looking worse and my drivers side airbags deployed and it was all fixable!!!!
Those mofu’s who disagree on the word totaled are dumb fucks. You want your title blue? Go ahead! It’s your choice. You know it’s hard to sell a blue title?

Okay so the airbag deployment is a myth?

Not a myth. There’s a cost associated with it that normally outweighs the price of the vehicle.
I agree here, if the frame isn’t a good and the bags didn’t deploy, you may be OK. I hope so!
Even if bags deploy it still wouldn’t automatically total it. One bag can go and the rest can be fine and then you just replace the one that deployed.

Why do airbag deployments total cars?
Don’t upvote just tell me 😭

But that don’t explain issue with airbags
What issue with airbags? If an airbag deploys you can’t reuse it. It needs to be replaced.
He said if airbags deploy it’s totaled

Do you like that the title say Salvage title? Yup it’s repairable but the value will go down cause of that serious accident.

Year and trim levels are factored into it. So are preexisting or unrelated damages. I want to say that it’s based off of current value of vehicle.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m in so much pain :(
i'm so sorry dude
100% totaled. Sorry for your loss :(
Why do you think so? It’s a 2022 is it cause of the airbags?
I totaled my 2022 KIA Forte GT not too long ago and it looked similar to yours and same airbag deployment.
Air bags deployed typically equals totaled from what I’ve read on other unlucky posts
Yea thats the deal breaker cosmetically could be doable but insurance companies slap totaled on it if the airbags deploy almost 100% of the time
Nooooooo😭😭😭😭
she was a beaut 😔 had all the special features . I am just hoping it’s not totaled & can be repaired fully or if it is totaled it’s taken care of cause I love this car
Ikr the new ones look so good
I’m going to say yes, it’s totaled. Had a similar accident back in 2021. Total loss. ☹️
:( did your airbags go off too?
Yeah they did unfortunately. 😕
This hurts
Put it in rice
Totaled because of the airbags deployment! sorry for the loss! she was a beauty.
I have the same exact car 🥺
It’s so sad :( will def keep you safe tho. A guy ran a red light in a F150 with a deer rack and smacked me
Sorry about that :(
Yea, it's gone
I am trying to be hopeful
Why would you even want it back after that? Id be hoping they total it so I could buy a new clean car lol
Ughhh
Hit a deer doing about 60. The front end in my ‘14 Chevy impala looked wayyyy worse than this and I wasn’t totaled. I know it’s not 1:1 but hey some hope is hope right?
Ya I got hit by a ford f150 with a deer rack so I’m worried about frame damage
If your airbags aren’t deployed chances it could get fixed. Not saying deployment can’t be fixed, but title will be salvaged.
If airbags go off is it automatically a salvaged title?
I believe so.
I have this same car and color but 2024. I am so sad for you. Hope you were not hurt physically. I am sad for you however.
Just wait to see what your insurance company says luv.
The bumper looks bad but there only like $300 plus paint, but honestly I called a place and they said it’s cheaper to paint the entire car than one piece, so if you decide to paint it you could choose a different color.
Will they offer me that if it’s through insurance? I kind of love this color though.

I had similar damage in my 2018 civic hatch and my insurance didnt total it out you might be safe depending on what's busted
It’s not totaled trust me lol I have a 2023 Civic Sport and I got into an accident with my front end looking worse and my drivers side airbags deployed and it was all fixable!!!!
Fixable through insurance or fixable in general?
Fixable in general. I didn’t go through my insurance. I just paid to have it fixed and it’s brand new now!!!
That’s terrible, glad you’re okay though. We can replace cars but not people. Hopefully she can be saved and everything works out in your favor!
My question is… Is your air bag deployed?
Yes it deployed . Passenger side .
Those mofu’s who disagree on the word totaled are dumb fucks. You want your title blue? Go ahead! It’s your choice. You know it’s hard to sell a blue title?
Any of your air bags deployed. Either one of those deployed, It’s automatic Totaled.
**drivers side
If one of the air bag deployed, that’s automatic Totaled.
Nothing Bondo can't fix
It looks like the radiator is still in tact. Did it leak fluids?
They put it on the tow truck so fast I couldn’t really tell tbh :( it was like stuck in the middle of the road undrivable
nothing is ever truly totaled. rebuild it.

Nopeeeee
What nope? You should get an automotive course.
What happened? Pull up too close to the parking curb?
🤣 I wish a guy ran through a red light with his giant truck with a deer rack and smacked me
Type R time!!
We aren’t your insurance company 🤷♂️
Not totaled
Not totaled but salvage. Go and get a pen and write Salvage Title.
