Where I work, 80% repair damage, compared to the value of the car, will total it. Otherwise, it's worth repairing in the eyes of the insurance company. They will probably use a CCC report to affix a value for your car and compare that number to the repair estimate.

Just because it is wrecked doesn't mean it can't be fixed. My dad owned a body shop and at least 4 of my cars were total losses before he fixed them and they worked great.

its over $14k in damages so far.
they're saying its only 60% of the total and they need 80% to total it.
$14,000 = 85% of a $16,500 value. I suggest you request a $14,000 payment for the repairs, pay off the lienholder and sell off your old G whole or as parts. I suspect you can easliy get a few grand for what's left of it now. problem solved, new car time.

sorry 1 more update...

just talked to the adjuster and i told him i didnt feel like i wanted the car repaired with that much damage. hes having his salvage guy go get an estimate tomorrow. then i can just take that $ and the repair $ to pay off my loan and put a downpayment on something new. ill lose some of the stuff i have on the car but there are no major mods. and to be honest, its not worth the hassle to take off springs and sways for a few dollars. i just want to get this over with and move on.

true i already told rob what im looking for and hes going to find out when they get the 09s in. i can probably get a better deal on an 08 but the 7at just sounds dope. ill definitely need a ride in your car sometime.

^^Exactly, other wise just save some $$ and get the 08. They really did not make any other significant upgrades.
