Thread: Insurance totalling wrecked car

Tweet

Thanks for all the input, its always appreciated! She decided to take the payoff, and she bought a 08 chevy HHR with 12,000 miles for around 15,900. Its super clean and red as can be! I guess if you look at it a certain way, it kinda worked out to be an upgrade for a couple of grand, or she only spent a few grand to drive the other car for three years. Either way i feel it all worked out in the end. Again, thanks for the help guys!

Oh i almost forgot, does anybody have 59 caddie taillight conversion ideas?

Like Itoldyouso said--tell the company to find you a comparable vechicle. My wife had an accident about 6 years ago, her fault. Her Cherokee had minor front end damage, popped the air bags, a fully loaded car with all the features, 4 years old with 28k on the odometer, paid off and well maintained and clean. Insurance company were going to total it and offered about $14k as a payoff on a car that if traded in, pre-accident, would have brought about 16-18k. Anyway long story short we held out after getting 5 bids on repair costs and the company, Progressive , finaaly,upped the payout to $17.5, and then cancelled my wifes policy.
