Hey guys I had a a$$hole run a red light and t-bone my 2000 trans am. it's totalled out but I need to find out what people paid to buy their car back to part it out. I am thinking about doing this but I dont want to get in too deep without knowing some info first. I need to find a ls1 intake and TB to replace my fast 90/90 too because that's all going on my new GTO.

For me it has always been 10% of whatever they settle for the car.

That seems a little low from what I have heard from others. I guess it really all depends on what insurance company you have...

Yeah pretty much.
They will just write you a check for $7200 and let you keep the car.

State laws may make them be regulated differently as well. I just know in Missouri it is 10% of the value of the car.
Insurance companies would rather not have to mess with the car anyway, they are usually happy to sell it back to you.

I also have heard its 10% of the value they give the car, if its kbb or whomever.

I just remember when a friend totalled out his 3rd gen supra turbo, he got like 4.5k for it. They would sell it back to him for $1.1k. That's why I thought the 10% was kind of low. Maybe theres a limit for how low though.

That's too bad... My brother bought back his 3000GT for 10% of his settle value.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Seems there are a lot of these threads. I know a couple local that are no longer on this mortal coil. I guess it's a good thing that mine is missing the top part of it's engine, tucked away in the garage.
