Sorry to hear about that Kevin. I am going through this same thing right
now. One bit of advice that the guy at the body shop that did the estimate
gave me. He said that if they say they want to total it and are not giving
you a good deal, tell them you want it replaced. You know, tell them ok
find me a 67 Square in the same condition etc. He said since you are
dealing with the other guys insurance and it was his fault you have a little
more leverage than if it was your fault. I will find out what I am up
against this week, once the insurance gets the estimate. Plus since this
body shop did not have prices to replace parts I gave him the prices I found
for used fenders, doors etc. This helped my estimate to be in the more
realistic range, which may give me a better chance, that it does not get
totaled.
And I have already determined that if they total my car, I am stripping
everything I can, then they can tow it out of my drive way. If they don't
put a good value on my car then I'll give them what they paid for.
Good Luck!
