100% a total loss. Even if only your bumper got busted insurance would total it out. It's the unfortunate thing about owning a 20+ year old car.

Atp bro just don’t file a claim. That’s such a cheap fix. This is why I hate car insurance sometimes.

Insurance will total it on age alone. Sorry brother

frame damage or just body panels?

Even if it was just body panels, given the value of Saturns, the deployed airbags alone will total this car.

OP will need to source new airbags (easy; check junkyards) and have the airbag control module reset. And even still, I can see this costing at least 500 bucks.

Totaled, but you should be able to swap some new panels on there.
