Had an accident and looking for advice on what's broken

[Jasper7821]

Holy cow, 26k and thought it would be 3k, ya seems that's how the insurance companies are. I do think I have a really nice claims person and they know how much I love my car and they're trying to work with me. We'll see what happens.

I thought mine would be $3k. It was $26k when they stopped counting and mine ran and drove. Insurers explained that once the estimate went over the value of an equivalent car, they would pay me off and ship the carcass to a savage and not have to worry about any future liability. Business decision.
