Correct. Settle, get a good payout and wait it out a bit as I posted. Unless you need another car then make sure you get book value so you can find another used one. But with the market value of used cars you "might" want to just go ahead and order a brand new 2022 if it cost almost as much as the used. |

So if they total it can you pull off your upgrades? Or does the insurance get them with the car?

Answered my own question… you can if you have the original parts to put back. I plan on doing all kinds of upgrades and have already started. So I’m keeping all old parts just in case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is why i don't even enjoy driving the ZLE or Viper or any of my other toys anymore. Living in a big city i see dumb crap happen on the road all the time. I'd rather just leave the toys parked in the garage and taken out to get cleaned every once in a while, maybe occasion spin around the block. Its a such a waste, but it just seems the roads are too crazy. I drive my POS beater more than anything, its been like a tank that's taken all kinds of battle damage, but since I don't really care about it it doesn't bother me.

The OP's car needs new fenders, door, hood, probably wheels, tires, maybe brakes, airbags, radiator, possibly some damage to unibody. If I had to guess I would say that's probably 25 to 30K in repairs. |

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) yes, I think it's totaled.
OP, sorry for your loss! |

No question that is totaled IMO. Damage is quite severe and airbags deployed to boot.
When I got hit from behind in my last car, I was absolutely sure it was fixable... Once they noted the frame was bent, that was it. Totaled. I'm sure that car has some type of frame damage. Glad you are OK, cars can be replaced, people can't. |

glad you're OK, the car can be replaced you cannot. The bigger problem you are going to have as you explained it is you are responsible for the accident. I had the same issue in the driver who caused the accident drove away and we even had witnesses and a plate number and tracked them down but I was responsible for the car I sideswiped (minimal damage) and the lady that hit my rear end was responsible for my car. She hit me so hard it broke the C clamp holding the axle in place. The car responsible was even doing an illegal U turn and the police would still not do anything. Hope you have a friendly insurance company cause I got a feeling you're not going to like the offer they make you.

Its a Hyundai Tucson. I don't even bother listing in my signature because its only purpose to it take a beating on the highway. I do drive the XJ, but its currently in my garage getting the engine overhauled and waiting for a lift kit so its been out of commission for a few months

Horrible to see, that was a nice rig. The idiot drivers are the worst I've ever seen. Hope you get a positive resolution...
