Not really. I can totally understand their motivation. With places like CoPart there’s really no reason for them to allow the resale of a car they’ve totaled and they don’t have to worry about getting rid of it. -D > On Aug 26, 2017, at 4:49 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes >

My insurer (Allstate) won’t allow buybacks of totaled cars anymore. The only way you can get the car back is to buy it for parts. If they total it they’ll never insure it. I’m wondering if other companies are doing the same? -D > On Aug 26, 2017, at 3:53 PM, Robert Massmann via Mercedes >

I suggest you take it to a body shop with a lift so you can do a visual inspection along with the body shop guy. Then not have to bend or crawl to see the damage. Likely, that would give you enough information to determine how critical the damage is and go forward accordingly. On Fri, Aug 25,

First of all, comprehensive doesn't come into play here. This is strictly a collision claim. If USAA was involved at all they would make you whole, then subrogate the claim with Amica. The adjuster should be a certified estimator, so whatever they come up with should be right, but I agree in

The dames insco is footing the bill direct. I do not have comprehensive on the car, so USAA will not bother trying to make me whole. Amica has the burden for the car. USAA is going to deal with my medical needs. I want the second opinion, so that I can see if I can just take the check and

So if you got an estimate why didn’t the adjuster just cut you a check? That’s what my insurance company does. Then you take the car to any of their approved repair facilities, or one of your choice, or just pocket the $$ and do the work yourself or live with the damage. If the bill is more

I'd think that the greatest risk is whether the trunk seals or not - will it keep the rain out and the contents dry? Do you care if it does or not? Otherwise, it sounds like cosmetic damage which is optional from a functionality standpoint to repair. Your choice . . . On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 5:19

The adjuster came out and took a look at Allen. He found more damage than just the bumper. Seems she came deep under the car and bent some of the sheet metal under the plate. Shifted the gaps for the trunk as well. His estimate was around $1380. If the body shop finds more damage they will
