Hopefully if they can fix the body work and not replace it. Then the Rear axel, don't know what's going on with that. Could be totalled.
If that was your baby, sorry

It may be totaled based on others I have seen. If it were my car and it was totaled, I would take the money and buy it back real cheap and fix it.

Or part it out. Could probably make thousands from this forum.

I wouldn't think the axle alone would cuase it to be totaled since suspension parts and even the removeable cradle it attaches to is not hard to fix. There is a lot of body work to done on this car too. The quater panel needs to be replaced and this is a lot more work than a front fender. There may be other damage including a bent frame. There could be a twist in the whole body. I am looking at the side window alignment with the rear quarter window. to me it looks very fixable but lately Crossfires get totaled very easily and I think it has to do with body parts availability. IAAI.com has many Crossfires for sale that have been totaled with similar damage.

Would you pay $22,000 for a hail damaged '08 Roadster ???

Guess that makes my '05 now worth about $26,000 ?

What a depressing site! On another note, there is an an '04 at the bottom that has over 183,000 miles on it...one of the higher numbers Ive seen. I also saw this listing...the pictures make me cringe but the interior/exterior color made me laugh..

WOW, looking at all of those totals looks like there are only about 100 Crossfires left in the world. (LOL)

The buy it now price is always rediculous. Most of these you have to be a dealer to buy and they aren't that stupid. Most of the ones with very little damage or flood will sell for just a few thousand dollars.
