You'll get some good answers if you post this up in the paint and body section, here:

Depends on how the rear end was hit. It may have crushed the rear quarter panel, and may or may not have frame damage, which might not be a DIY job.

Pictures would help, but frame damage is not always evident from pictures.

Many shops gives free estimates, and you may be able to tell what needs to replace from that.

I noticed you live in Castro Valley. Don's Autobody is good if you have a shop to fix it.

Yeah, frame damage is bad. In many cases it can be fixed; but $. If Don's told you it was totaled, it may be that the damage is more than the car's worth.

You might want to look for another car, if that's what Don told you. Don's Autobody is one of the best shops in that area.
