Z Totaled yesterday - Pics inside - Please advise! :(

Once the frame is bent, legally they will have to salvage it. That was the case for my 08 Nismo, damage wasn't as bad as yours and airbags didn't deploy.

That is probably a state thing, because from the accidents my family and friends have been in the past, bent frames haven't always resulted in a totaling of the car.

From my experience if the initial estimate (from the body shop) is less then 70-90% of the present value of the car (what they'd have to pay you to total it) then they will go for the repair.

Most insurers total at around 80% but not all. My barber bought a brand new bmw m3 a few years back with in a week a drunk driver rear ended him at ~50mph when he was stopped at a red, was about $38-39k of damage insurance wouldn't total it because they would have to pay him out some additional 8k or so.

Anyway sorry for your car and we're glad you're alright. Best of luck
