cars not totaled

just 15k worth of damage is all

 

They aren't totally it with 15K worth of damage?? Something is wrong here. I think it should be totalled......

 

No doubt.. "usally" a total is half the value of the car.

 

the curse lives on with them not allowing you to total the car.

 

Survivor.

 

Wow, I would of figured anything over 10k would of been considered a total. Oh well, guess it's what makes a Scion rock to begin with (oh and all the cool people that start talking to you ;-) )

 

so 15K worth of damage and they arent gonna total it?!?! wtf?!?!

 

What ins. co. are you with that won't total a car with that much damage?

 

That blows, not possible though on a 17K car that depreciated. I would go back and have it re-looked at.

Your new screen name for the tC will be ZOMBIE.

 

I would double check with them to make sure they won't total it.

 

I have a 10lb dead-blow hammer and cordless sawzall that could put it over the totaled mark.

 

i got an idea, lets get a brick, put it on the gas and send that bad mama jama off a cliff!

 

itll fly .....

 

my car had 9100 dollars in damage and they didn't total it (a picture of the damage is on my profile) original estimate by insurance and auto shop (less than 6k) low and behold, it was more than 50% more expensive....scammers. insist they check the car again. perhaps have them put your car on a lift to check underneath the car, i had extensive damage to my suspension that wasn't caught by the insurance guy.

whats even worse is that i put 5 or 6k down on my car, had 1500 dollar trade in and had already been paying my loan for about 10 months...so i had less than 8 grand left to pay on it, so the damage was more than what i had left to pay, but not more than what the car is worth, so no total... how screwed up is that?

 

also i am screwed now on resale value as well...you are probably even worse off. try explaining that to car max....it was only 15k in damage sir, it's still good. look at it this way, its close to 90% brand new! go and smash up your car some more and tell them to come back...but not really because that is called insurance fraud and is a felony.

 

What I was told by my ins., the magic # is 70% of value. Now how do they figure value..... :?

 

apparently

value = normal value - assessed value * how much crack they smoked that day

so from what i understand... idk...

 

Whatever it is, it has to be close to the mark. In my experience, once they start the work they always find more $hit wrong!

 

That sucks dude my cuzin did 12K of damage to his and it wasn't totalled either, It'll never be the same though

 

BJ You still have hope and luck on your side. You know it will get hit again, how many lives does it have left? You’re in stolen car capital of the world.
