I don't see that being repairable, but i've seen worse.. I would honestly start all over.. The car would probally never be the same after that..

Glad your okay though.

If that happened to my 4 door, I would fix it only because I've had it for so long and it was my first car. I'm pretty much in love. /emo

It depends on you man. Idk how much you like your car or how much money you've put into it. Just make a decision you won't regret too much. Good luck!

I'd scrap it, way too much money and downtime without a car. A good shell with engine transfer may be <$1500. When i got rear ended in my teg, body shop without goign through insurance charged $550 for pulling the rear body panel, and installing a used bumper and rear skirt. For the skirt and bumper, it was $200 at a good deal

you'll have to weight the cost to fix vs value of the car vs budget you have vs sentimental values

Buy another four door that needs work, or that has a missing front end and swap all of your parts onto it.

I would definitely get a new car just because of all the problems that you may face down the road due to hidden damage from the collision.. like everyone else said.. if there isnt an attachment to the body then just grab the motor and swap it else where. Good to hear that no one got hurt

anything is repairable... for your case it's gonna be expensive like everyone else says... what kind of coverage do you have as far as insurance? if only liability then I would start looking for a shell to swap your motor into...
