Hopefully some of you guys can help me out here.
I posted a few days back that my Mustang had been wrecked. The initial report from the insurance was that the damage totaled $9,800. They started ordering parts for it and what not.
Fast forward to today, they call me again. They say they found a bunch more stuff that needs fixed and need another $5,000 to repair the car, totaling $14,800 in repairs.
I'm wondering why they didn't just total it? The blue book on the car is $15,300. I always thought the damage had to be something like 80% or more of the value of the car in order for it to be totaled.
Anybody have any info on this? Insurance company is AllState if that matters.
Thanks
