Not exactly... Totaled does't mean the repairs are worth more then the car. Lots of other factors determine if a car is totaled or not. Things like damaged pillars and airbags are a liability and can total a 30k car even if the damage is worth less then 10k.

In this case the suspension damage alone will likely be around 7 to 10 thousand, add in the cost of body work (hard body work not just new panels) and potential C pillar damage. like I said before I'd say 60/40 its and the more I look at it the more Im leaning toward totaled.
