Yup. If they total it then they take it away. If you don't want it totaled then you pay out of pocket to fix it. It's a shitty situation. Either you're low balled and have no car or they get away Scott free and you are monetarily screwed
Mo ey isnt really the issue. $100 on a junkyard bumper and shes gtg. It's more about letting the machine win with absolutely zero recourse.

Not for my use.
Just odd how it all works. The offending persons insurance wants to total my sister's car but all that is wrong with it is broken rear bumper. It's an older civic that runs perfectly fine. They are trying to tell her either take the $1800 pay our to total it or drop the claim and fix it on her own dime.

I find it insane the insurance companies are the arbiters of totaling a car.

What's the fair market value for the car?

I been on a streak this week. Getting hyped up about people being worthless at their jobs, but population and corporate entities have created monopolies.

I'm big on principle of things. As most of us in here.

Yeah, shitty situation.

See what they'll sell you the totaled car for. $400 ? Ok, I'll take your check for 1800, buy it salvaged title from you for 400, and we call it a day.

Or, as stated, few days later is when stiffness sets in from being rear ended. Tell the adjuster you're headed there next.

My older sister bought a used Range Rover for about 30k. She got hit at slow speed in a parking lot. A couple of doors damaged. Nothing major. Insurance says $25k to fix and want to total it.
Range rover. Might actually cost $5000, but hey it's all got to be overnighted from England.

Love love love the VZ61 but don't want to have to get 32acp rounds
The lever action I got for $250 so I’ll be making money on it. The guy offered $350 but said he would drive from Savannah to Brunswick for $325. So works for me.
It was a good deal at 250 so that’s why I got it. Don’t even have a box of 30-30.

I like commie stuff, and I can grab a few boxes of 32 from academy.
