So who decides if it gets fixed for $6k (hypothetically) or replaced for $12k? Not sure you can insist it be totaled?
In south carolina, repairs exceed 75% of the value, apparently the insurance company wants my car to be worth 10 when its not totaled but watch once it is they will be saying my car is worth 7 haha.

Many companies use 50% if there's a chance of hidden damage. Insurance companies do not like to pay for exploratory surgery, nor do they like to start a repair only to discover hidden damage that jacks the price another 20 percent (which is easy with a $10000 Porsche).

Here you go Jake your "S" summer project kit! Lots of assembley required.
You can install your engine in it along with a E-gas T/B until you get a 3.2.
