What area are you? It can be fixed but needs to be a shop that knows how properly.

As long as the frame isn't bent all you need are the parts, a good mechanic and body shop. If the frame is bent it can still be fixed but it would depend on how badly it's bent. These cars are still valuable enough that insurance companies would rather fix them than write them off. If the car is damaged badly enough you wanna hope they do write it off.

If he can't do it, he will steer you in the right direction for sure.

As long as there is no frame damage, you should not have a problem with repairs.
