My Poor, Innocent Jetta. Totaled or Not? You Be the Judge.

iPhone 14pro does wonders, cheaper or older ones I concur.

For nearly $1000 bucks it certainly better. A good compact digital camera costs a third of that and is easier to use.

Not $1000, You can get the same photo as post #11 with a less than $600 iPhone. Which the price starts at nothing more than a mid priced phone from any maker.

Iphone 11, Iphone 12 (now on sale at Best Buy for $566), Iphone 13, Iphone 14, Iphone 15. All take the same type of photo at night as post #11 above

You can go to Apples Website right now, free delivery to your door iPhone 13 for $599
Only writing this because the phones are not expensive for a premium phone from any company.

Saw the fixed up photo in post #29. I would be surprised if it's totaled. I hope you update us when you know. Good luck!

I would replace the wheel and drive it like that until after winter. May get a few more bruises across the next three months in N.E. I had damaged like that fixed on a Toyota MR2 in the 80's. A week later fresh out of the paint booth, it got backed into at Demoulas in Andover, Then a month later it got rammed by a dPW truck on surface road parking at the Cambridge Galleria.
