It's totalled but not really. It should be fixable using used parts. Insurance won't do it tho. Whoever buys it at auction will surely put it back on the road.

its definately fixable from a builder's stand point... looks like mostly cosmetic damage... but if the radiator was pushed back into the engine and it broke the mounts or something...then definately totalled. and not worth fixing.

Both air bags were deployed, it was leaking fluid and will not start.
Do you think it will be considered a total loss or fixable?

Here is what it useto look like

The front subframe points can be removed and replaced. Most of the time if the bags blow it is enough to push it over the top moneywise to total it in the eyes of insurance. The nice thing is, these cars are easy fixes and soon see new life on the road with new owners.
