Something you need to think about. if you keep the car, will they total it and then you buy it back from them? That is the way that it is usally done, that means you will have a car with a salvage title and 8700$ to repair it. You will never be able to sell it for a great amount. If you are going to keep it and if you can find someone to fix it for 8700 then ok. Otherwise let them total it. Strip it of every aftermarket item that you put on it and sell that seperately. Go buy yourself a new box or use the 11-12K for a good down payment on a lease turn in.

I have gone the total and buy back option with a car before. Usally if they tell you that the car will take 8700 or more to fix, it most likely will and you will spend every penny and more to make it back to pre fire standard. then you have a car that burned up, and salvage title. more or less worthless.

just my .02$.
