If that is the initial estimate, you have a good chance of breaking the threshold to declare it totaled. The damages in all likelihood will go up at least $2-3K. A lot of the damage will be hidden inside and doesn't get declared in the initial estimate. I have an '04 too, and my insurance company said the threshold is about $18K to declare my car totaled when I was trying to get a new car out of my accident. If you go over that, you should be able to get a new car.

 

damn sorry to hear.....thats fcked up that they wont call it totalled

 

LOL it wasnt insurance fraud.. just an older man that shouldnt have been on the road...

thanks for the concern though...

ive heard the same about the threshold.. we'll see what happens once the tech rips it apart.....

 

I Would Say Most Likely Your Car Qill Be Totalled Out, From My Experience In The Business, It Will Be Totalled. Is Your Roof Bent, Im Sure It Is, Then Ussually Thats A Sign Of A Total. Good Luck.
