Sorry to hear about your wreck but how can that car be totaled?
Am I missing some dents in the roof or something? I see no indications of frame damage. That is easily fixed.

It doesn't look like a total from the pic.It depends on the value of the car though.

It doesn't look like a wreck, but just a minor sideswipe. If an '88 marquis had hit that car head on the car would be destroyed. Hopefully you are adequately insured. That is quite fixable. It's always upsetting to have accident damage on a nice car, especially if the car isn't paid for yet.

LOL, wow... are you serious? I thought this was a joke at first. That car doesnt look any worse than my car! Couple of dings that can be popped out. :gj:

Pop a bandaid on that sucker and start her up!!:rofl:

The wheel looks dented in to me? Could be a lot more internal issues

Yeah if you drove it away and it wasnt leaking any fluid it isnt totalled. Last year, 2100 in the evening cold and rainy and entered the highway on the way home and some total A** in a Ram SXT or something or other riding my tail all the way down the ramp decides to pass me before the highway...needless to say at 60mph he clipped me on the way around and sent me spinning/ hydroplaning, struggled for control for a min and then around came the back end across 3 lanes and head first (glancing) into the cement divider.... I drove mine to the side of the highway to where he was sitting and his truck was totalled he went up the embankment and hit the sound proofing wall and then rolled it 4-5 times
Drove mine for a couple of months like that until I had time to get it in the shop for the repairs

From looking at the pics, it looks like the rear wheel is off-set which could be due to damage to the rear axle. If it is, they will total the the car. Thankfully you didn't get hurt!
Best of luck!

Ya definitely looks like the camber is way off on the rear wheel. That could mean a broken axel or suspension and that could potentially cost a lot to fix. Good luck with getting everything worked out.

Pfft. I drove an 88 Mercury Grand Maquis for a while. You are lucky to come out that in the condition you did.

^.^

Srsly though, I am sorry for your accident. It sucks when your stuff get hurt like that. The car I am driving right now was my first car that I purchased. The first one I purchased on my own AND it was my first Brand New car. If anything happened to it .. I would be so .. @)*&#$)!++) with the @)*&_)%&@!) ON A !*&@*&$_!+ DRIED !@#($*% SUCK!!!!

Let just say .. you don't want to be the one that hit my baby .. k?

Just got my Grand Prix back from the body shop, that got almost the same kind of damage. My wheel was not as bad though and believe it or not mine cost $4600 to fix. Look at the bright side, it could have been worse.

no i know that it could be worse and yes i have full coverage but the reason im thinking its totaled is the rear axel is kindof doing a rainbow shape if that makes sense and my enitire subframe was shifted. plus the car is only worth 9500 at the most. but thanks everyone for the support

I can say 98% not totaled u need a door, Section the lower quarter(dogleg) and prob a rt. rear knuckle (that is why ur tire is leaning in prob. bent it). 1. the car looks like it's in good shape and 2. I have fixed alot worse!!!! Good luck!:gj:
