i dont think it's totalled but that's a nasty lil scratch. you're better off with it being totalled.

honestly i think its totalled. they totaled my first tC and the damage kinda looked similar, but i had damage in the front and rear, i think because its so new they might total it. gl tho.

i got in a little fender bender the 2 weeks before christmas and im still in my rental im begining to hate VW Jettas lol. i just want my tc back

^ this is true, i didnt notice that before untill i looked back at it... i just dont know

WD-40 some mothers wax and a lil man strength and that baby should pop right out. this goes for all instsances

but honestly hope its totalled because when you sell ur car the car will not have a accident record so it will even out in the long run.

can you replace just the quarter panel? isn't the tc pretty much a unibody car? i don't think the quarter panel just comes off.

it has to be cut, and depending on the shop (some use adhesives and some weld, adhesives are actually better then welding....)

This was my car, and it wasn't totaled.

What was needed/done:

new hood, new headlight, new front bumper, new mirror, refurbish door, new rear quarter panel, refurbished rear bumper, new fuse box, new tire.

it's cause the bumper cap fell off

^haha, have u ever seen stock rims with a flush offset?!?

It's a pretty nasty bite, but I would say it isn't totaled. I have seen some tCs that looks like a crushed soda can and they weren't considered totaled.

yep, its b/c of the tC's resale value.

I bet the frame got torqued or bent some. I'd say totaled.

I snapped a few more pics today at the collision place I had it towed to. It's at a dealership, which makes me more comfortable. Anyways, here's my observations.

From the top.


Cute...








Hatch fitment.


Sunroof fitment.


Driver and passenger side door fitment.




Driver rear wheel.






Hatch area floor.


Eeep.

Just from that outside look, i want to say no. But maybe under closer inspection of any internal damages, the cost will add up and you as well just total it. Either way, good luck.

wow bro, that's a lot of damage... i'm just glad you two are alright. best of luck in repairs / new car

it looks like the entire body flexed. id still call it totaled

i still say its totaled also

how long until you find out? I found the day after my accident that my car was totaled.

The lady who hit me is insured through farmers, the number they have on file for her is bad. They're saying if they can't get a hold of her I'll have to take care of it. Which is ___. Luckily I know where she works. So I'm going to call the insurance company about it today. I need to get a copy of my police report, and figure out a ton of ____. What sucks about all of this, is now I'm without a car. Nobody is providing me a rental car either. I'm forced to deal with not having a car because my parked car got hit. It's annoying.

Don't know why the lack of correct home phone # should matter, being that she has a valid policy and she hit you. I think that they're just tring to get out of paying the claim
