Default Damage Question

Hey Everyone,

My friend got in an accident with his tC, a F-150 backed up into it, and though I currently don't have pictures of it, I was looking through http://wreckedscions.com, and found a tC with similar damage, and him and I were wondering if this will be a totaled situation, or can this be fixed?

not totaled!, but its not a cheap fix either. The rear quarter panel is going to be grinded out and replaced with a new one.

SORRY!! didn't know cuz the tC's body is a unibody that whole thing is one piece. Didn't know if the had to replace the entire thing cuz the piece goes from sideview mirrors to tail light. didn't know how much that would cost to replace that or if they could even replace it because of it being all one piece. Sorry im not an expert thats why i asked.

ur lookin at like.. maybe a week or so without a car.. depends on where you go. when you get it back... be **** about it.. look it up n down as long as you want. if you see something you dont like about the way they fixed it.. tell them.. they should fix it to the way it was... or better.

k so here it is estimated at $3,500 with labor and tax... not including rental my dad has to get so i can drive his car and he can drive rental since im not old enough to get one for myself.

will take 2 weeks for needed parts to arrive
and will take 2 weeks in the shop for it to be fixed.

talk about a big car rental bill the other insurence has to deal with...
