Some of you may remember that my girl wrecked her car a couple weeks ago. Still no official word on whether or not it's totalled, but i've seen cars totaled for much less. The tow yard is bugging her to pay for the tow and the storage fees and she wants to pay them so she can get the car and part it out. However, once the ins adjuster takes a look at it and realizes it's totalled, the car will no longer belong to her and if she wants it, she's gonna have to buy it back. Also, she has to get the ok from the insurance to take the car from the tow yard, which of course the ins won't do at this point for obvious reasons. But she is hell bent on paying the tow yard cause she thinks if she does, she can part it out and all will be fine. She's not understanding that once the car gets totalled, it no longer belongs to her unless she buys it back. She's got a 98 Accord LX, the current bill for the tow yard is up over $400, add that to the cost of buying the car back, my guestimate is at least $1000 and there is $1400 it cost for her to get the car back. I can't imagine being able to part out the car and get that money back so why even bother?
