So what's your point? Hood, bumper skin, bumper, light, fender, fender liner are all toast, then possible frame, suspension or engine damage, why are you surprised it's written off?

Your front end damage looks severe. Although I cant see in the engine bay i'm sure there some damage to the front frame.

Car is worth about $10K(LE Model,based off your rims) so I dont think its worth fixing. Take it as a loss and get a new car. That generation Corolla isn't that great anyways. I would know, I have one..

If you wanna part out those rims, lemme know I need winter rims..

If I am seeing what I think am seeing, it looks to me that your driver side frame rail is hit. Generally speaking, I wouldn't want to keep a car that has sustained any frame damage, so I'd say ICBC is doing you a favour by writing off your car.

Your bumper rebar is also hit. Between the bumper, energy absorbing material, rebar, etc., the bumper repair alone is going to cost more than $3k. How much did ICBC estimate your car's value to be? and how much did they think the repairs will cost?

I can only say, in this case, I am not surprised your car is written off.

Ya, then take it as a loss. Plus do you honestly love that car that much that you wish they fixed it?

There you go. $12k repairs, and your car is worth at most $12k as well. So why would anyone (including yourself) ever want to fix it?

Start looking for a new car for yourself. Get well and recover from any injuries you might have sustained. There is no point in moaning over this loss.

how'd you end up on the median on alderbridge?

In anycase, general rule of thumb is if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the total value of the car it gets written off.

looks like the frame rail took a good hit too. Frame time, refinishing time as well as replacement panels and parts add up pretty quickly.

Even if you manage to fix it, it will never drive the same with a damage like that. Why bother? This isn't a Devil Z (Wangan Midnight reference).

It's a corolla, get over it."Sort of sentimental" isn't a good enough reason to hang on to it, it will never be the same car again as others have mentioned.

Then take it as a salvaged car and spend $12k+ to fix your "sentimental corolla"
Why are you here? Every single person here said to take the money. What are you asking for? Legal advice? You want to sue the other driver for sentimental loss?
