really? was there some damage that you couldnt see? i know the control arm and some of that but that wouldnt even come out to a grand. that sucks man im sorry.

[grim]

Try and buy it back

[DemonRider]

Ya, the Frame is bent to hell, radiator was snapped in half, engine block was no longer attached, axel was snapped, strut was jacked over then there was the minimal body damage. Strange how that works. He stopped at 5000.00 in damage then said it would be totaled.

It is a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT. had 105,000 miles.

[~Barn~]

Buy that sucker back!

[DemonRider]

Why?

[grim]

Why?

You can usually buy back totaled vehicles pretty cheap then all you have to do is take the time to fix it.

If it's still more-or-less "salvageable", you can get your insurance money for it, but then also buy it back at a super steep discount.

Or use the insurance payout to buy another vehicle that wasn't totaled then repaired and then you won't have a car with a salvage title.

Dealing with insurance is always a pita...best of luck.

Ummm, read what he said again...

Bent frame, engine no longer attached, axle broken... All of that is gonna be more than a 2002 Hyundai is worth by a long shot. Not worth buying it back unless you have room to let it sit while you part out the good pieces.

I agree with wrider, unless you have a good mechanic that will do the repairs for dirt cheap, the repair needed is more then an insurance check would be.

Even parting this car out i dont think you would get close to 1/3 the price worth doing

Alot of my friends run parts yards and this is the type of car they would buy for maybe 500$ in the conditions stated from an insurance lot

[DemonRider]

It don't look as bad as they said for sure! I just went to grab everything out of it. I'll post pics of it later today.

Where was it at a tow lot somewhere or insurance company?
Yeah I dont think I want to deal with cars and repairing wrecks, especially if the engine is no longer attached and if minimal body damage. Something wrong with that picture on it if pre-accident strength loosing the motor in an accident. All the cars I am familiar with whatever knocked a motor out of the car was easily looked at and it was a given it was totaled. Tis weird how it works, with these new crumple zones.
