had a dream lastnight that i was able to climb into the trunk and use my feet to kick the tail pannel back out and the car was fine......have you ever gotten a truck with a caved in roof and layed on the seat and used your feet to push the roof back into place?

Ever see an insurance company give a reasonable first offer? Me either.

It looks repairable to me? If the insurance company gets it, it'll go directly to the crusher.

If it is totaled by the insco and u buy it back, in CA u will have to re-title it with a "salvage" title, which will forever blemish the title. Doing so also requires a brake and lamp inspection. All are costs u will have to absorb in addition to the buyback cost. I would fight....

I agree with Terry for sure. Fight hard, they will do much more than the first offer. Put my wife on it and it and I GUARANTEE they will do you better just to get rid of her.
She did it with one of ours that was totaled by her daughter and got way more than anyone would have thought. Actually, more than it probably could have been sold for before it was wrecked.
