Teddy Kennedy references are so very old and pretty lame by now.  Got
something newer?

So if you want to do it that way, why not ask the
shop if they would be willing to do that should
the ins co decide to total it.

Because I’m a cheap ass and want to make some cash off the deal, so I am on the fence about getting it fixed at a shop (assuming it’s not totaled) or keeping the cash. At the end of the day I want to extract as much money as possible out of these people. I guess my neck might start hurting. Maybe I should hire a shister lawyer and show up in a neck collar.

Once you agree on a settlement for the damages, you can do what you want with
the money.

Do you want one more project?

You have the opportunity to get the car properly fixed and paid for. Why make
more work for yourself?

Depending on where the numbers come in, I wonder if I can have somebody
put in on their machine and pay to fix that, then deal with the doors
myself. At that point it’s just swapping doors which is easy.

Kaleb,
Don't be scared of the B pillar damage. The services of a competent body
shop with a frame shop should pull it back to position pretty quickly, done
and dusted.. then find a replacement door, paint to match.. adjust the rear
door so the car has proper fit and margins... you could be back in business
pretty quickly, for low budget money.
The new frame machines with laser location in 3 axis can dial everything in
quickly.

You've got enough going on. Let the shop fix it properly, and let her
insurance pay for a rental while your car is being repaired. If they want
to total it, in my experience their offer will be more than fair. I'd take
it and move on. It's only a car.

Last week they requested photos of the damage, which I sent. I let the
adjuster know in that email that I would be taking the car on Wednesday
(today) to get estimates from the local MB certified shop that the
dealer uses. Previous to that when I told him that is where I would be
going, he proceeded to say they overcharged customers for unnecessary
work yada yada. I also told him that they would need to inspect the car
in person and not rely on a virtual appraisal. Crickets. Called them
today and raised hell saying my time is valuable and today is the day
I’m taking it in. Long story short, I guess they have a rental car
reserved when I take car in. So, I’m wondering if I should get estimate
only and figure out if I am gong to fix it, or go ahead and get
estimate and leave it, then drive rental car until they figure it out.
My cheap instinct is to take the money and later fix it myself, but
with that small gap at the top of the door I’m afraid it has some
slight b pillar damage in which case there is no way I can fix it
properly. Or, get payout, sell this car as is, then buy something else
or pocket the money and get a different Okie acres car ready to go. I
guess there is also the possibility State Farm attempts to total it. If
that is the case then I guess I would do a buy back them either sell it
as is or try to fix it myself.
