i had to negotiate to pay for my own head and tail light, and my own fuel door...they said they will fix the rest...i was about 200 over being totaled so i am putting the stock headlights in, and leaving the tail for now since its a small crack...and a scrape on my fuel door...theyre gonna fix the rest

sucks man, i hate to hear that but your better of with them fixing the car since its a salvage title. trust me i didnt get even half what my lincoln was worth when i was hit. it booked for 6000.00 i got 2100.00 before buying it back from them for 200.00

You have to leave a scratch in your fuel door because you are $200 over the limit for totalling? Are you kidding?

If your insurance company doesn't have a say in who works on your car, bring it to another shop for appraisal. Any respectable shop would take care of that fuel door for you and possibly have a better price so you can get the other parts you need. I would run from that first shop at all costs.

i would its either that or have them screw him harded buy cutting him a check for a rebuilt vehical. id live with the scratch before i was screwed totaling it out. i begged the womans insurance company that hit me to fix my lincoln insted of cutting me a check but they just wouldnt do it.

Unless he has a junk insurance company, he can shop and definitely find a shop that wants his business and will take care of a scratch for him.

I don't think you quite understood what I said. I wasn't implying to have it totalled and take a check for a previously rebuilt car. I was merely telling him any decent body shop wouldn't leave behind a scratch on a friggin fuel door.

+1 on shopping around. I just went up to the ford dealership and they quoted me $1200 to paint from the doors back on my and then went to another place in town and it was just over $900.

bring the painter a cheeseburger and a 12pack of beer and tell him instead of throwing out that leftover paint to just dump it out on the other spots you need fixed. It worked for me, lol.

so you wrecked it with no license???? didnt your insurance company want a police report???
