Best thing to do IMO would call your insurance company and have them evaluate it. That looks pretty grave. I'm going to say they are going to total it and offer you a check.
This is so depressing.

Yea i think it might be totaled. I mean condensor, radiator, fan, bumper cover, fog lights, both fenders, hood........I know im missing stuff. Not to mention brackets, mounts, hardware, and re-painting. Lot of work. You could do it yourself but the insurance company might call it a loss. At least your headlight are still intact.

ouch...that looks pretty bad. Prolly a couple of G's in damages. I would just let your insurance total it. Sorry to hear.

A lady just backed into my car before, luckily she had rubber bumper on her SUV so there was no damage done. I was very shocked.

I would not bother fixing that. Speculating the repair costs over the internet is not an exact science by any means, but easily at least $3000, probably more.

I agree, you can find another clean ES from the insurance money. i don't like owning cars that have been in accidents and usually get rid of them after its been injured. Sad to see another one of these go though.

I highly doubt the headlights are any good either. It doesn't take much for those three plastic mounting tabs to break and if they do,
the whole headlight assembly is hooped. Big bucks to replace too. I'd say this car is a write-off, regretfully.

The least, $1500. The most, $5000+... I think. It doesn't look that bad.
