In order to total out the car you would need prob over 15 to 20 thousand worth of damage, not considering things like frame damage. For comparison sake we once had a 2008 Mercedes E320 in our shop with major front end damage extending all the way into the engine, breaking whole timing cover destroying the engine. That engine alone is over $20,000 but we fixed the car and it was returned to the customer after we repaired it back to like new condition.
