Quick estimate of the damages

Simply wanted a small estimate if you guys could help on how much these damages could go up to...

In other i had an accident *tried to avoid a little bitch who dint do his stop*
and I drifted right into a tall side walk, car bounced pretty high, one wheel pushed in back, another wheel a bit squished in, air bags, and a few dents to the body,

and wanted to know if insurance would call it total loss or not

Thanks!

Yeah looks like a total with all the deployment of those air bags. It might be a shinka because of the tan interior. But on another note.. you should've changed your rear brake rotors a long time ago.

The only Shinkas were in 2005, black cherry mica, and 2006, a variety of colors. A prior owner could have swapped interiors, though that doesn't look like the Sand of the 2005s or the offwhite/grey of 2006s.

The interior is Full Leather from a Kuro ... it's a Special Edition sold in Japan and Europe.

I would also call that a total ... if the wheel is pushed in likely the complete subframe is messed up ...
