OMG only 5 weeks with car!!!
OMG fellas I just got rear ended and now I’m worried about the damage and if the car will be totaled!!! from what I can see rear bumper, left quarter panel, tail light and left inside where the spare tire sits is bent and trunk doesn’t close. What do u think totaled or repairable?

What year and mileage? Doesn't look totalled by any means....but that's usually determined by the value of the car.
Sorry to see and hear about your luck. Glad you're ok. ISFs seem to be very tough cars....haven't heard of anyone getting injured in a wreck with them.
Hope you can get it squared away or either back into another F soon!

Damn, that sucks.. Drivers in the DC area are insane. This was last night on I-270 wasn't it? Someone spotted you & posted in the Facebook NEISF group. Good luck getting her back in shape.

Based on my experience, I'd guess it's totaled. Yours has about 30k less miles than mine did at time of accident, but after initial, superficial estimate that came out to approximately $16k, the detailed estimate once they got in there and really looked at the damage, the car was very quickly totaled. And your damage looks far worse than mine. Here are my pictures:
I was happy when mine was officially totaled out. The thought of holding onto a car that I knew would never be the same worried me. And the fact that the resale value dropped significantly from that moment, I couldn't get that out of the back of my mind. Or even worse, having a rebuilt title. Good luck selling that for any decent amount. It was a huge relief when mine was totaled out.

^^^Wow. That looks totaled to you guys??? I destroyed the entire front passenger quarter of my G35 coupe drifting into a lightpost (it was a long time ago...and a tall lghtpost...and yes, it did fall. Anyways, I have 100000 more miles on that car and it still drives perfectly after the fix. I actually used that accident to get some updated headlights, etc. I called it a 50000 mile refresh!

the retail cost to repair that car by a body shop will likely approach $18k-$20K so there's a very good chance it'll end up a total since salvage value is probably somewhere around $10K as is.
The math looks like this:
Actual cash value (ACV) = $30K (throwing a number out there)
Salvage value = $10K (estimate of what the car would bring at auction in its damaged state)
Estimated repair cost = $20K (preliminary). There are always supplements so this can go up and usually does go up.
The net difference between ACV and salvage value + estimated repair cost is essentially a wash, therefore it's easier to total and close the file quickly, instead of dealing with the hassle, having to warranty the repair, deal with body shop, pay for a rental, etc. Even if it initially looks less costly to repair, insurance companies will typically total a vehicle when it gets close.
these numbers are only estimates of course, as i don't know the specifics of the OP car (i.e. year, mileage, etc).
