write off or not?

[RichardZR]

Just recently rear ended someone with my car, Corolla Levin ZR ZRE152 MY12, and now in the process of it being assessed.

Just curious on the likeyhood if it will be written off under the damages:

- Damaged front Bumper/ Fender (Plastic, has to be replaced)
- Damaged front quarter panel (Metal, has to be replaced)
- Damaged Rim
- Damaged Headlamp unit (HID's)
- No chassis damage
- No engine, engine bay, radiator, and transmission damage
- 7000 kms

Wondering if it will be written off on the basis of uneconomical repairs by the ensurer, as it will possibly cost too much.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions.

I'd say no chance. Looking at a 5-7k repair there at a guess.

Nope, repairable.

Insurance companies define a write off as "the repairs being worth more then half the value of the car". Your car could very much be fixable but insurance would rather write it off.

It will be repairs, in suffice damages to write off vehicle.

I see internal damages. radiator support and L/H front skirt damages as these Corollas are very soft.

Few k damage I reckon. Repairable.

It looks repairable. There may also be damage to the inside of the vehicle

+1agree.

That would easily be repairable. I work in a smash repair and I've seen crazy damage on cars that still gets repair and not written off
