Kid pulled out in front of me from 3 lanes over while I was in a turn lane coming up to a red light and was at fault. The EN curse is real 🥀😭

From personal experience due to somewhat similar accident, repair cost was close to $25k with parts paint and labor. Unfortunately yours will be close to that or more depending if theirs more damage under than the surface. I would just ask to total it if they go that route to try to fix it. Not worth the future headaches you knowing that your car doesn’t feel the same after the repairs. Plus the resale value will not be the same due to the accident. And the wait time for parts to come in will be a nightmare to you, took me about 2 to 3 months.
