5k to fix that? not even close. looking at the pic, im pretty sure the rad support is bent. plus you got hit in the rear? its totaled. you'll have to replace the whole front end plus whatever in the rear and they'll end up having to repaint the whole car. paint alone at a quality shop will cost you 5k.

Well the rear really isn't that bad... it spider webed some of the paint and the reflector is broken... I am not sure if that means that the bumper needs to be replaced... but its not anything like the front... the front is f'ed.

Do any of you guys know how much I might get for an 06 IS350 fully loaded with 60k miles on it from my insurance company?

ive seen these guys that im talking about fix cars that look much worse. there was a guy that posted here just the other day with an IS he bought from an auction that looked much worse. he ended up swapping the engine and everything and it cost him about 10k.

From the looks of it the front bumper reinforcemnt did its job. The fenders look ok so I dont think those will need replacing.

From what I gather

Both headlights
hood
top portion of radiator support
front bumper + foam
Bumper support yours look ok but they will replace it
Grill

That's not true, are the bags popped? There are ways around that so it doesn't show up on carfax, no one will ever know

this cost about $2K...and that was fixing the bumper & the hood, and replacing the headlight with a new one. obviously they're gonna replace everything on yours, so it should be approx. 3-4 times that amount.

sorry this happened

did the airbag deploy? if it did.. then most likely is totaled. if you include the front and rear too. what year is your 2is?
