Accident In my Turbo 05 ES

Sooo i crashed my Car make a long story short driving down a hill some kid in front of me braked for no reason i rear ended him he had about 5 scratches on his back bumper n my car got pretty messed up some of my friends also say mayb is cuz my car is so low or because i was going downhill but watever it is wat it is my question is how bad do you guys think the damage is? i have full coverage and all and waiting for adjuster to come to my shop couple things that worry my is that my car is barely worth 4500 at most trade in value i have 88,000 miles on it and also with all the body damage my radiator broke and so did the AC how much do you guys think i have worth of damage i'm not to familiar with this since my first accident but im hoping and pretty sure Geico can't say this is a total loss right? thanks for the help guy's and here are pic and also airbags did not deploy i wasnt going fast at all i dnt even know how my car got so messed up

P.S- tried to keep it short didnt work sorry lol

looks like all work tha can be done yourself but the cost of parts will get you.

your looking prolly 800-900 in parts alone. see what the adjuster gives you.

Its tough to say what the extent of the damage is. The bumper cover and hood are covering most of the damage. However it doesn't look too bad. The car will not be classified as a complete loss this damage is not significant enough. It looks as if you may need to repaint/replace the front bumper cover the hood, I can see that the front upper support seems to have been bent downward. Did the fan/belts or radiator shift or get crushed? All in all i could say it could have been a lot worst. It will be fixed in no time.

You should be alright , not a total loss. Be prepared to not have your car for a few months. When I got hit. I upgraded to projectors,new evo hood, gforce front bumper, and fenders. All costing less than oem replacements... Take a few deep breaths and get ready the ride has just begun..

It might get marked as a total loss. They go by OEM parts cost and I have heard that when your car is over 70k miles the chances of a total loss are much higher. Good luck and if they do mark it as a total loss buy it back for a few hundred.
