Insurance Company Problems... HELP

[RBatson]

WOW!!! Cool! I'm glad they are covering it. I knew that I'd be covered in a rental car but didn't think I would be covered in someone else's car. That's good coverage!

Ok, before you start getting too excited.. you realize they probably won't want to pay what you paid(I'm guessing between wholesale and trade-in). Also, if its totalled out then they will want what they paid for... the car, as is(don't go making plans on the engine just yet). BTW, where is the car? I hope it isn't behind a fence. I don't know what you have in the car but if you can get to the car and umm... undo whatever you may have done, that would be a good idea... I can only tell you from my experience and it may be different there but here.. the original owner gets the first chance to buy the car back after the claim(yes, I've done it). When the car is totalled out it is sold (at auction usually) to try and recoup some of the cost. Junk yards and cheesy car lots usually end up with these cars, they either fix them or part them out.

I don't know what shape that motor is in but I do know there is a 96 cobra not too far from here with a smoking engine(I can only guess why), the asking price is 7k. It has 85k on the clock and its Red(Rio I presume). I figure it would cost about $800 to ship it there... just a thought.

GOOD LUCK!!
