takes 75 percent of the value of the ar in damages to total it. you can never tell by simple pictures. a body shop will have to tear it down to see how bad it really is. a very simple hit that doesnt look like much damage car total a car easy and a horrible looking car may not truely be that bad. airbags going off dont make the car totalled. just more expensive to fix.
its deff going to have to be looked at by an insurance adjuster first then probably go to a body shot to be disassembled to look into it further and see how much the damage repairs goes up. but it will take 75 percent of the value of the car in damages to total it.
if she wanted it totalled (which i sure as hell would) she needs to get the car to a body shop that usually rights high ass estimates and does expensive work that will scare the insurance company away from fixing it. I know where to go for euro cars but not acuras
Her insurace company will try to tell her where she NEEDS to go but thats not the case.. she can take the car to any shop that is certified by the insurance company which is pretty much any shop.
oh yea.. worked in a body shop a few years in HS so im pretty familiar with this shiatt
hope its totalled.. i sure as hell wouldnt want a car back after that
