Rep Power: 0 Wrecked car worth fixing?
Yes, I was dumb enough to skimp out on collision coverage. Both air bags deployed. There were no fluid leaks at the scene. I've been given an estimate of $5000 (no damage to the engine). I took great care of it otherwise.
Is the car worth fixing? I know it's hard to tell from a picture. I know it will never be the same again.
I know I'm supposed to look out for chassis damage, but not sure about anything else. I wanted a knowledgeable opinion since I don't know much about cars.
Thanks for your time people.

I'd say no...thats pretty bad...in the off chance that the main chassis support beams aren't bent, you may be able to repair it without spending too much, but I personally think the rist is just oo high and there's too many things that could be wrong that you werent quoted on cause they couldn't be seen.

yeah thats at least 8-10k of damage, most insurance would prolly just total it right off.
