Replying to: tybo2 (Dec 20, 2007 8:38 pm) I don't think so. Essentially, the criterion for "totalling" a vehicle is that the cost of repair has to be comparable to its replacement cost. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

Replying to: tybo2 (Dec 20, 2007 8:38 pm)  How many miles do you have on it? I can imagine that there are some '95 Sunfires that might only be worth $500. Which begs another question? You are still carrying collision on a '95 Sunfire? Regards, kyfdx visiting host |

Replying to: tybo2 (Dec 20, 2007 8:38 pm) Yes The cost of the front suspension will probably be more then the car is worth |

Yesterday I signed a contract on a vehicle but did not take dilivery of that vehicle. Am I still obligated to the contract if I change my mind?

Replying to: 07sdn6mt (Jan 13, 2008 10:05 am) The short answer to your question is "yes" but that depends on what kind of a contract you signed. If you provide a little more detail we should be able to get you to the right place to discuss your issues. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

Does anyone know what percentage the repairs have to be for State Farm to consider a vehicle totaled? Also, do the trade-in and retail values shown on the estimate have any relation in reality to the "actual cash value" that they would supposedly offer on a totaled car? The initial repair estimate on my '04 Mustang Coupe is $8,520; on that estimate, "clean" trade-in on my car with all options and low mileage credit is shown as $10,825 and "clean" retail value is shown as $12,925. |
