Hi everyone,
I was driving home from work last night (this morning @ 4AM) and the rear driver side tire blew out. I let off the gas, applied the brakes, but the car began to fishtail. I was in the left lane on I95 southbound, ending up spinning and hitting the guardrail on the passenger side. I really, really, really, really, really, really do not want it to be totaled; I'm praying it can and will be repaired instead.
EDIT: Front air bags did not deploy, passenger side airbag inside of seat did, but I have an extra seat that will plug up and get rid of SRS error, if that will keep it from being totaled.
Car info (to figure ACV): base model, leather interior, 5 speed standard transmission, 126k miles, a few aftermarket upgrades (not sure if this would play into the ACV?).
What's broken: passenger side tail light, rear bumper, passenger quarter panel, passenger door, passenger fender/fender liner/side skirt, and the passenger wheel is bent in an outward angle (tie rod, axle?). The front bumper is fine, clips are still intact, and the passenger headlight seems to be fine. From reading other threads, there seems to be a few adjusters on this forum; so if you can look up what your company would consider ACV on my car and what you would peg it at to be repaired, and what you would decide to do would be very much appreciated. I suppose I'm going to have to wait until Monday to get an adjuster to come take a look, but here are a few pics I snapped.

In my opinion, it looks like a total loss. Sorry. We would need the year of the vehicle.

Clean trade in value will probably be around $5000. Couldn't tell you a salvage bid for an '02 in your market.
