Theres no way that will total that car out. No way in hell. $1800 dollars in damage didnt total my 88 Monte SS out. As soon as the adjuster sees that you have full intent to have your vehicle fixed and keep it he will base its worth on for sale ads and ebay prices. Thats exactly what the adjuster did for my Monte.

He said the blue book is low on these cars, like $1200, so traditionally this would be totaled but these cars hold value in the market so I'm gonna base its worth off of similarly conditioned cars with relevant miles and he came up with a $3500 worth for my car.
