Though when I did finally sell the car about 18 months later I showed the buyer pics of everything.Īctually, two years ago, I had ~$1500 of damage done to my Saturn (verified by a couple body shops) and they said I might have gotten my car totaled BTW the title was never altered and a car fax never showed anything. Settlement was fast (within 2 days) and the car was on the road within a week total of the accident. I figured I came out like a bandit (made about $1000 off the deal). Couple hours of my time and car was back on the road. They settled with me for $1875, I bought the car back for $350 spent about $100 on struts, $75 from the salvage yard for a 1/4 panel, and a door skin, another $65 to have them painted. In most states there is a dollar limit on the amount of insurance payout and if the vehicle is repaired then that is noted on the title or it becomes a salvage title if the payout value is exceeded.Īdjuster came to my home, saw the wheel and body damage, day later call from ins company telling me damage exceeded value of car (mind you this was a beat to the ground car that was given to me) it had been driven off road on construction sites, pounded in the ground by 4 teenage boys, need I go on? I resurrected the vehicle but still there was not much value there.

It all depends on the state and just who made the insurance company the ultimate arbiter of totaled? $500.00 of damage will "total" a Saturn. I made out like a bandit BTW Sa as to your blanket statement it may depend on the state but yes the other company can and will say "sorry totaled here is your settlement". I bought the car back from them for $300 + the settlement and proceeded to fix it myself. She was not at fault, other guy got ticket, and his insurance totaled my car. Guy from the east went through the stop and t-boned her spun the car 180 and it nearly slammed in to the mini van I was driving. I was sitting at a 4 way stop going south she was at the same stop going north. Daughter was driving the 96 SL2 I used to have. Only states where you can not sue for damages do you lose.Īctually they can total it. That will only cost 150.00 or so and the mere thought of dropping 10,000 and losing the case will generate a settlement. If they do not unbend in a week or so then go find a lawyer to send them a nice friendly letter. They may try but just tell them to fix it. 1.If you did not receive a ticket or are adjudged at fault by your insurance company the other persons' insurance company can not total the car.
