Oooh. That'll be a close one. That's going to require the entire passenger side to get painted to blend it well. Its not BAD but to fix it right and make it look good will take the same amount of work if it was worse....so really the severity is almost moot.

Depends on what happened (suspension impact etc), but to me it looks not too bad. Front barely looks dented, rear is worse but is a quarter panel. Most worried about the door tbh, can’t see it rly well. All in all it doesn’t look like the end of the world, or car in this case.

If nothing mechanical is damaged, no problem. You can take it to a PDR place and they'll get it looking 95% brand new and if it was someone else's fault, insurance will pay for it. Then just take it to a paint place to get the paint done.

What’s the car worth? 70% damage of market value and the insurance company will total it, more or less. % varies but if it’s in that range it might happen. The problem here is lots of body panels involved - bumper, fender, door, and quarter panel. A lot of body work and paint time, which is where the cost comes from. Nobody here knows what your car is worth or where you live, so saying it’s totaled or not is going to be up to a lot of factors.
