RE: OUCH!!!
Insurance wanted to tget it to a body shop for a tear down... I sent it to the dealer i bought it from... They have always been nice to our family but here's a couple tear down pics. Insurance Co. is sending out another appraiser tomorrow to check it out. The engine starts and runs just fine! I was driven into the work bay.

RE: OUCH!!!
Did he give you a copy of the initial $14,500 appraisal? After the tear down do you see anything he missed? Generally you can also add $500 to $1000 just for material and labor supplemental ...

Another one gets whacked ... glad you are OK ... hopefully for you they total it ... I currently have $11,000 worth of damage on my 2006 V6 ... the insurance company says it's worth $19,000 so they are not going to total it .... [:@] It's in the body shop now waiting on parts and have the front frame rails straightened ...

The total loss guidelines vary by state ... but in Georgia repairs must be 75% of cars Actual Cash Value to be declared a total loss. NADA on my Yellow car is $19,000 retail and they told me they needed $14,500 to total it .. (I couldn't believe it myself but the NADA website does indicate 18,000 to $20,000 with my mileage and options on a V6. The MSRP was only $22,000.)
