How is this car not totaled? ... Are the repair costs really that high?

I always thought once airbags deployed it was considered totaled.

Generally yes because it’s so expensive to replace because of the difficulty/danger involved

Insane they didn’t total it…

I’d call and talk to them about it, that should definitely be totalled out.

They’ll buff that right out.

I think when I was in an accident I got the estimate first and then notification that it was being written off came a few days later. They have to write the estimate first and then determine whether or not to write it off. Give it a few more days.

Wow. That’s really surprising! Go buy a lotto ticket now lol

I’m surprised deployed airbags don’t make it totaled. Where I live I think insurers are mandated by law to total any car with deployed airbags.

Holy shit…wow .

That’s insane wow

Will total on a suppy

That’s nuts, for your situation your probably better off totaled. Once those air bags deploy in California the title then becomes salvage. atleast that’s how it works here.

Wow this is insane, I’m shocked as well lol .

I would be sort of happy but not really as then you are out of a car for longer since that will not be a simple job and parts will need to…
