Default Can my Z be fixed

I wrecked my Z it’s a 2005. Car is stuck in drive and neutral. It will crank up still but I was wondering if it could be repaired by full coverage insurance or will they consider it totaled

Why ask people that can’t put hands on and instead ask the only people that can say definitively..... the insurance company.

Seriously, no one here can tell you anything. No x-ray vision to see damage under the obvious. If your trans is “stuck” as you say, well there’s something big damaged.

And it all depends on at-fault. If you’re at fault, it’s a collision (self) claim and the insurance will likely just total for low blue value. Or not cover at all due to at-fault.

The shifter **** came off when I wrecked. I hit a tree trying to dodge a dog nothing else mechanically seems to be wrong and the frame of the car seems to be ok

Then your recourse is to take it to the body shop for repair estimate. Then check with insurance company. (Or reverse order.)

You don’t think the insurance company would fix that?

The fender did get beat up pretty badly and the frame might have some damage to it but everything else on the car seems to be fine. I know they will fix the damages if it doesn’t exceed over 75% so I’m crossing my fingers they can get it fixed and repaired. I submitted the claim on Monday and still waiting to hear something back. If they ended up just paying me out for the car how much do y’all think they would give me? I was hoping for 4K back since the cars value is 7200

Ask what the salvage value is if you were to keep the car vs if they take it.
They are not going to repair that

Without knowing anything else about the details of your Z, the FMV is somewhere between $3K-$4K.

That is definitely totaled.
