let them total it, and get your check and then buy it back!
I think the rule of thumb is if the repairs are over 70% of the black book value they total it.

Sooo....it's looking like they might "total" my car. The repairs will cost about $9000...which is about 75% of what the vehicle is worth. I'm stuck...and I don't know what to do.

Cant you just buy it back? I mean, it kinda seems like it might work out for you.... There is obviously nothing wrong with it.

Good news!
The adjuster just called a little while ago...they are NOT going to total the car. He "appraised" it at $18,111. I don't know where in the hell he got that number from, but I'm happy.
I'll be getting a nice check in the mail.
NOW, the question is...what wheel/tire set up can I get and still stay in BS class for autox?

resultant change in track dimensions is allowed.
