RE: How a small dent can total a car....

Posted by Inmate51 on April 6, 2021 at 06:47:06:
It's possible that he'll get the full "total" value if he turns the car in, but get a lesser amount if he decides to keep it. He should inquire regarding what that amount would be.
My '99 Maxima was "totalled" because of its market value at the time, but insurance gave me $2,500 AND let me keep it. I would've gotten more if I had let them have it. So, it's still got hail damage, and I still drive it, and I got $2,500. Win-win. I understand there's a huge difference between hail damage and actual functional damage. Still, it's worth weighing your options.
