That is not totaled.

It looks like your dad will be paying more for insurance because it is his fault.

That stinks. I hope everyone is okay though, it sounds as though everyone was safe and not hurt.

lets see it needs = new headlight,new headlight washer,new hood,new fender,new bumper,new bumper support,new sidemarker light, new radiator support,MAYBE a new radiator,paint and blending work...i hate to break it to you but the value of a 98 gs400 with 171 km is what MAYBE 5-6k?

parts list is OVER what the car is worth so its PROBABLY totaled i mean its possible it wont be but i would be willing to bet they do

Try and have your dad plead the case of stopping short aka insurance fraud on the other party. Sometimes they will 50/50 instead of 100% his fault.

If you plan on junking it. Please sell me your exhaust!!!!! I was going to buy one this week! Hows it sound btw?

how can it be stopping short? even if the other guy intentionally did it arent you supposed to be a safe distance away that no matter what someone does you should have time to react/brake to avoid a wreck

CORRECT..

Insurance company will not Care one bit on any discrepancy unless it is WRITTEN on police report.

Depends... who the insurer is and what the adjuster would say. Given its not being done under insurance one would slip by without it changing titles, since insurance isn't involved.

Majority of our GS' are black interior... its rare to see one that isn't. A customer car was just in, 03 SD black interior, with black burlwood.

Umm, that IS totalled, given fair market value based upon a canadian craigslist, a car like this non-wrecked would fetch 7k best case, as it is a low-mileage for the year. And a shop fix exceeding half the value... yeah, she'd be written off.
