Almost certainly totaled on paper. But probably not a terribly bad repair, especially since the bags didn't go off.

Hilarious that this somehow became the driver in fronts fault though. lol.

At least a 50% chance they total it. Depends how deep the damage is up front.

Hmmm. I think I see the issue. There is a ford in your hood. Would recommend removal for optimal performance.

More importantly, hope everyone involved was ok, materials are replaceable, health isn’t. It’s impossible to tell from pictures if totalled or not, but good luck op.

I'm guessing it'll cost whenever your deductible is

Hope your wife is ok, that's all that matters. The hesitation is likely because she is at fault.

It doesn't matter what the driver in front of you does. If you hit them you are at fault. If they backed into you, then you better have a dash cam to prove it.

That's a bit more than a bent fender.

I'm surprised EyeSight didn't slam on the brakes in that situation. That's part of the reason why I wanted a Subaru, to help avoid situations like that.

Hopefully she's OK.

Hesitated a yellow and stopped mid intersection? Why are you passing blame to the ford? The Subaru driver should have been stopping anyway if the light was yellow and had cars in front of them still.

Did the airbags go off?

I’d personally call that totaled, but I’m not the appraiser. There’s a lot of damaged parts, the radiator will need replacing and the mounts won’t line up so it’ll require frame work, and that’s assuming the engine is undamaged.

at minimum two fenders, a hood, a bumper, headlights, a radiator, a paint job ..that's not cheap.

Depends a lot on your state - states have different rules for when a car must be totaled by an insurer. For example in Florida it's when repairs are greater than 80% of current value, in New York it's 75%, in Texas and Colorado it's 100%, and in a bunch of states it's whether the cost of repairs + salvage value exceeds current value.

Also depends, of course, on what was actually damaged and needs to be replaced as determined after the mechanic gets everything apart to look at it.

That's what a 10-11k car? I had a very minor scuff/scratch that required a rear doorskin, rear bumper cover, paint and sensor recalibrations and it was $8k+ all in...take that for what it's worth.

Ima guess at least three fifty

It’s weird that you and your wife are blaming the person in front for her rear ending them. If she would have been following at a safe distance it never would have happened.

Nice hood ornament

In road colonoscopy. Kinky.

Any airbag deployment?

If so, mor likely to be totaled

Day early for front end Friday. On a more serious note, glad to see that the both of you are okay. Property can be replaced, lives can't be.

You can't park there sir.

2020 base model Impreza… A Ford F-150 with a giant trailer hitch backed up into it while it was parked. This cost AAA $7800 to fix. I was shocked. Thankfully, I didn’t pay a dime. And luckily, very low miles for its age so it still has a lot of value. I would’ve been so upset if it was totaled. I wouldn’t think a previous accident would affect the value if you got it repaired. Glad your wife is OK. Hopefully the car can be fixed. Imprezas are good little cars. If it is totaled, you can always do the repair out of pocket and get a salvaged and then rebuilt title too.

No way of telling until insurance company gets the quote back. No point in digging further. Could be an $800 fix, could be totaled.

Totaled. Especially considering previous accident.

Ooohh..a rear end under ride collision.

Impreza vs S’impreza

My 2019 Impreza was in a similar accident. Quote original was 3k in damages. Got transfered to another location and it was billed for $9k.

I looked up a rough value of your car not knowing what you specifically have. A 17' impreza with 60k miles is worth between 9700-12700 according to KBB. Assuming that you'll need a new bumper, fenders, hood, head lights, and assuming a radiator? That alone is looking at close to $2000 not including labor (which will most likely be the same as part costs).

There could also be frame damage which could be fixed at a cost or beyond repair. Most insurance companies will total the vehicle if the repair cost equals about half of the value of the car.

I had an accident in my 2016 mustang and they ended up totaling it because costs exceeded half the value and that was valued at $22000 and our damage looks similar.

That is probably done.

Base model 2017 Impreza with 60K miles...and borrowed 2018 or newer alloys. Your mileage is way below average but that car was barely $20K new. I'd be surprised if they didn't total it. If it was paid off at least you'll get some money to go shopping. It's crazy how much nicer the 2024-present Impreza is than the previous generation. Even a new base model has significant upgrades in tech and safety functions (good chance Eyesight would have prevented this accident). Good luck!

You really should pull from the front of the car if it needs a tow. Pushing it never works out good for anyone. 🤣

On a serious note, I am glad to hear that your wife is ok and nothing critical. I hope they can fix your wife's Subie back to new and not write it off 🥺

I’ve been in a similar accident with an Impreza that was 7 years old at the time, only 50k miles. It looked similar in terms of damage though. Car was a total loss. This will probably be as well from what I see here.

Imprezas are low to the ground, but not low enough.

Lmao how close was your wife following that him hesitating on a yellow ended up with his car on her hood because id hardly call that mid intersection from the photo.

My Outback has similar damage (passenger side only) due to hitting a jeep. Just got the estimate - around 5k.
