I'm getting mixed signals here.
Do you want the car fixed or more money? A conflict of interest check would up the payout to you, and would leave you with a totaled car. Never ever accept a check from an insurance company until the deal is done to your satisfaction and in writing. If you do, they will say you have accepted their offer and it's over. As you may have guessed, I've been through this before. And, I won. |

Do you want some cash and your car sort-of fixed? Then take the total, buy the car back (with Salvage title), and get it fixed adequately. Leave some money in your pocket. Or, you can be a PITA, and demand a proper repair (read: no bondo). You won't get a pocket full of cash, but you'll have your car, and no salvage title either. The second way will take a longer time. Dunno. Not sure what -you- want from your posts. It's really up to you. Until you accept money, the ball is still in your court. Once you accept money, it's considered a done-deal, and you get what you get. -Josh2 |
