Car got crunched; insurance company wants to say it's a total loss?

I doubt the frame is bent.

I'd say you're lucky it's a Civic, because there are thousands in that age range still on the road, and you'll probably be able to find a door at a salvage yard. The insurance company will know how to tell you to procure the care and title it. If you want to keep the car, your check will be a little less, but you'll still have some funds to buy another door.

Remember, the insurance company's idea of it being "fixed" might be a higher standard than yours. You may be able to find a door with that exact same color.
