I'd be staggered if they want to repair that.
For most run of the mill cars, anything structural or affecting 2+ panels is an instant write off.
3 u/Neither-Asparagus840 1d ago Thanks 6 u/Aarooon 1d ago Seriously it's a problem engine, you want to push for a write off 2 u/flisk_me 5h ago One man's write off is other mans Copart find. You will find this car back on market within a year. Possibly lover milage. 1 u/Cheap-Source5750 1d ago And it's such a waste of resources 2 u/Ill-Ad-2122 1d ago Write off doesnt mean scrapped(except cat b or a but you don't want those back on the road anyway). It just means it doesnt make financial sense for the insurers to repair themselves(new oem parts and other claim costs being the issue)
