I guess totaled…
No, you just have to have full coverage. The check is going to go to the lien holder, not the owner. If it is repairable, it’ll be repaired, if not, the check goes to the bank.
guys you need to keep in mind travisn’s years and years of experience. I knew everything I needed to know by the age of 23 as well.
Remebering what nitroinsane’s cobalt looked like at one point. I am gonna say this is not totaled.
thanks! I have never claimed to know everything though.
I went to Alfred state for autobody and have been in the business since '06. I worked at John Holtz collision for almost 2 years, in that time I have fixed A LOT worse than that, but again, it wasnt a pos ford either…
you just need to find the right shop… that should buff right out
This.
I spent my entire life around collision shops.
It’s right on the edge.
Go to nada. Price it. Take 75% of that and if the estimate is more it’ll be a total loss. With that said, if it’s a loaded up focus worth $21k, then it would take $15k and change to total it. If it’s a base model with no options worth $13k, it’ll take $9k and change.
It’s currently at Joe Walter’s in North Tonawanda. It’s up to the other’s insurance company at this point. Joe says he wants to fix it. It’s a Focus SE with every option with the exception of sync and sunroof.

Not totalled, unless the insurance company thinks it will perform poorly when your wife crashes again.
Good call :tup:
yay for poll!
op: please scan a copy of the estimate when you get it
That’ll be totaled, or at least I’d personally hope so.
in ny state your insurance is allowed to pay 100% of vehicles total for repairs, if it goes over the value of the car to repair they total it. i was involved in a accident on the 219 on dec 17th and hit a gaurd rail. they gave me 7600 for a 2001 celica with 126k on it. and the damages where 8400. if they do total it ny state makes it mandatory for ins companys to give replacment cost. or market value of what it would cost to buy that cvar current day. so untill you get an estimate and find out what the appriser value of the car i would just sit tight and wait for the procces to pan out.
Ny state is one state that has a law that says when your car is totaled. if your going to be upside down they will write off the remaing amount if the loan becomes upside down. that will only applie if the loan was taken in ny state.
here is an 08 kia rio that my buddy is currently working on, granted there isnt that much wrong with this one…
i think it won’t be totaled…depends on the damage appraiser though…
just my uneducated guess.
i wouldnt want that car back…total it
^
Who decide it?
i just about shit my pants. :mamoru:
Any Update?
