total it and buy it back? It'll be real cheap, depends on how much is in it. Also, you can appeal the decision and get repair estimates to give to your ins. company

+1 on buying it back. If you are trying to keep it a clean title, you'll have to talk to your insurance company about that. I think if damages > something like 70% of the car, they will total it, and these cars are getting CHEAP.

yeah i was rear ended in my 94 Camaro Z28 and it was totaled (air Bags deployed and front and rear end damage) My ins company appraised the car and gave me $6400 back and i bought back my wrecked car for only $300 dollars.

I went out and bought another 94 camaro z28 in the sig picture for $3K and swapped the whole driveline out of my wrecked car into my new car.

I unded up with more money for moding and the car only has 88K miles on it!

if its not bad just take the money and buy back the car and use the money to fix it! but then you will have a salvaged title so it will be hard to sell it in the future!
