It was nice knowing you all... (well, maybe not?)
I got the call from my insurance company today... My car is a total write off. You all are a fantastic community and I would give anything to have my baby back.

the better question is: "what happened here?" looks like the car was parked and hit where it sits in the picture.

i wouldn't question it, better to have a check for the car than to have it "fixed" and still not be 100%. my car had a salvage title because the front bumper, supports, hood, hood support, headlights, lf fender all needed to be replaced as well as repaint the front of the car.

they will give him what the car is worth..they arent that stupid to write him a check for 10k when the car is only worth 5k on the market..

...or it was hit elsewhere and towed, and the tow truck dropped it off in that spot...
Edit: Nevermind, all the sand on the ground suggests the hit was right there. Although claiming "not moved an inch" implies that you know where it was sitting before. It's not square in the parking spot after all. Could have been "stopped" from moving further by the car on the other side.

Sorry for the lack of response. I was T-boned and pulled into the lot, it just looks like I was hit in the spot. The insurance company called me today after I left a few angry messages telling them that it's repairable and they said that I'm right!![Yelrotflmao Vi](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/yelrotflmao-vi.gif)
I might have her back! I'll get the final consensus hopefully no later than Monday.

just because a price is in blue book doesn't mean you immediately accept it. say for example you had a full restored '69 camaro, you won't find many accurate book values for the car so it will be adjusted until both you and the insurance company come to an agreement, or it gets repaired regardless of the value of the car
on the other end, you can also take the book value and buy back the car and transfer any modified parts you want or sell them off separately.
we had an old '83 mercedes that was rearended, the repairs were $1500 plus $500 for a rental car. why wasn't that car totalled out? we didn't even get that much for it when we sold it.
honestly if it were me i would total it out and buy the car back, repair it with the total out figure and have a large chunk of extra money to put into whatever.
