2013 Lexus GS350 AWD totaled or not?

I don't think I could keep the car if it was fixed. They just never seem to be the same after a major collision. I always dread the thought of that happening to one of my cars. I feel I'm always in a demolition derby whenever I drive mine thanks to the inception of the cell phone.

99 percent sure the insurance will say that's a total loss, anything where that requires that intensive of work to that part of the frame is very expensive. However, it is still 100% salvageable if taken to the right body shop.

On another note, you said that you were ok, but with such a big hit, make sure you get yourself checked out. Aches and pains really intensify on the 3rd day. No whiplash symptoms?
What about airbags, any deploy? Any other safety systems engaged?
What about the other party?

Thank you everyone for all the helpful responses! I’m still waiting for the insurance to turn the report in they said it’d take 3-5 business days and with it happening on a Saturday night those days started today lol. My neck and shoulder is very sore and I have Head aches here and there but it should all wear off. Airbags did not deploy. The driver at fault was driving a Dodge Avenger didn’t do much damage to his car not sure how he’s feeling though.

i’m lucky, no pain or after effects after the first week or so.
If if you wait, you don’t want the other side to claim that your pain was a result from something else, or your failure to seek medical assistance. Where money is involved, insurance companies’ lawyers can get awfully creative.

Heed my warnings that you MUST see doctor and assume that you're hurt despite not feeling much pain currently. Also get a personal injury lawyer and get ready for a long process in getting medical / lost wages claims.
I've had multiple disc herniations and bulges that DID NOT hurt until weeks, months later. In all it took 2.5 years in reaching a cash settlement.

If the airbags had deployed, with that much rear damage, definitely totaled. However, since no airbags, it's going to be close. I'm going to bet that they will total it out. Sorry for your luck. Hope you start to feel better. Headaches suck.

You can check copart auctions for similarly damaged GS350's, then you know what it takes to get it totalled out by insurance.
Here's a few with similar damage:
