    This is totalled right?

    I’m thinking it would be more than $6k to fix.

    Really hard to tell just by Pictures

    It comes down to frame damage and if it can be pulled enough to track straight.

    If you or friends have the skills it might be possible

    Paying a body shop most likely would not be cost effective.

    good luck

    Being a 1998 The insurance will not even look that close before totaling

    Sorry for your likely total loss. I hope you’re ok. I just went through losing a brand new 2023 Rav4 Prime due to someone running a red light, but once I finally get the settlement and a replacement, I’ll forget all about it since I’m healthy and safe.

    Very sorry to see this but to echo others, hopefully you and any passengers walked away without any issues. I have to ask, did the bags deploy? From the look of the windshield, I'm really getting a bad vibe that it or both did not. Seen more than a couple of pics recently where its been pretty crazy on the front end damage but no bag deployment. Makes ya wonder if bags (can't recall their service life) need to be replaced or if its simply an issue with the frame not crumpling enough to trigger the bags.

    Sucks.

    meh, toss a band aid on it.
    hope that windshield wasn't a friends head.

    I’m already in line for the next one. Seeing how little my injuries were in the condition of the accident, it’s a no brainer. That and with the conditions it was being driven, it was getting 70mpg since most of its use can be full EV.

    I'm glad you are Ok.

    Was the windshield damaged from the outside? That was my initial thought looking at the damage going across the front starting from the driver's side to the passenger's side.

    Glad you're OK! Yeah, I think she's totaled. At least you walked away, and that is really the important thing. Hope the insurance company treats you fair.

    That will definitely be totaled by insurance. I had less front-end damage on my 2010 in my accident and they totaled it. Time to shop for a new truck and glad you're ok.
