Take the money,keep the car and fixit up cheaper,and put the rest of the money into transferable parts for the next car in line.

I wouldn't take insurance for that damage. It would be worse in the long run.

Totaled? Insurance terms = if it exceeds the "value" of the car its totaled.

1JZGTE, you just hit the jackpot. Now here comes the hard part. CF trunk? body kit and full paint job? cheap fix by buying some old bumper and trunk?

Take the money and run buddy

looks like the trunk is buckled and possibly the floor of the trunk as well.... i can see it being totalled since the value avc is low on it

Actually Yes, most people don't want a totaled car. Some are hard to replace for the money. If your insurance is that quick to drop the car, it's not always a good thing.
