like a phoenix rising from the ashes.. with tires

Took it to the body shop for an estimate.

He looked it over, did some calculations..

He says a rough estimate of the value of my car is $5000

They total a car when repairs are over 75% of the value of the car. $3750 in this case.

He said that repairs looked to be about that much and there is a good chance they will total it.

They need to do an official estimate and get word from the insurance company, but I'll be used car shopping in the meantime.

find out if you can buy back the car after they total it. if you go to a body shop and let them know you're paying out of pocket, you might get it fixed on the cheap.
