By Lambo standards, it's not wrecked not at all, but by our standards of what the cost is to fix it, compared to over total cost of our cars, the car would be totaled. Not sure if I am making sense but it sounds right in my head! Lol.
Also how much do you think a car getting messed up like this affects the resale value? 200,000$ car becomes a ???,???$ car because of this.

I think I get it, but not totally sure lol.
As for resale value, I've talked to a few Mercedes body techs who have had to fix wrecked 350+K Mercedes cars that had been flipped, rolled, smashed to the firewall, etc... because cost of repairs wasn't enough to total the car. They sometimes have to cut entire sections of cars off and reweld new parts on.
It wouldn't have a rebuilt title, because it was never salvaged. So basically he could post it up for sale and say it was involved in a minor fender bender and you'd never know.
