My baby got hit my an 18-wheeler, is it totaled?
Luckily I am OK and things could’ve been much worse but a semi-truck turned into me and caused the below damage. Goober almost spun me out. The car is a 2013 with 185,000 miles. The damage looks to be the rear bumper, scuffs on the fender, damage to the wheel/tire. The metal quarter panel beneath the bumper is damaged. Is this fixable given the low value of the car?
Body shop appointment is on Monday. TIA, Steve

If it got a solid whack on the wheel, there may be some bent suspension arms and/or the diff mount.
That could make driving it no fun anymore. Doesn't look like much problem with the outer body metal. Bending out the bumper mounts and a new fascia may be all that's needed if you feel like salvaging it if it comes to that.

Oh yeah, you're fine. I was rear ended by an 18 wheeler. Had to have the trunk pulled on the frame rig cause it wouldn't close anymore. If that was fine, you'll be okay too
