Will this be a total loss?

No, they won’t.

Here's a picture of my 2010 Tacoma (which I still have) after getting nailed by a drunk driver in a 2002 Mercedes E320 almost six years ago; The Mercedes was totaled and the drunk driver got a DUI...

 

Did it cost a lot to repair?

 

I actually found the pictures I took the night it happened; Again, the BMW was fixed and the VW was totaled!

 

My truck was like $2,200; No idea on the Benz...

 

Here's a shot of the damage to the BMW that ended up getting fixed...

 

That is quite a bit of damage

 

Most likely just means the fender panel got pushed back into the door. The fender and door panels are right next to each other, if one gets pushed even a tad bit toward the other it can block the door from opening. Not an indication of frame damage on its own.

 

I know; I was shocked they fixed it!

 

Here's truck my today, almost 5 years and about 85K miles later!

 

Very nice! The Tacoma so far has been a great truck

 

Over 138K miles on this little beast, and see...? Like it never even happened!

 

Though my dad was shoveling snow in January 2016 shortly after I got the truck back from the body shop, he wasn't paying attention, and he dented my new fender with the handle of the snow shovel...





One of those rare times when someone can scream at their parents and get away it with it!
