2. Considering that the tow place wants her to pay, she can't touch the car w/o paying for it.
3. If she pays for it... she needs to see if the insurance company will reimburse her.
1.) :dunno: she had just been in a potentially life ending accident on an overpass, she hit the guardrail next to the slow lane, she was very shaken and scared, im sure she wasn't thinking too clearly.
2.) Correct, but like I said, why pay to get it out when it's gonna be totalled?
3.) She has already talked to the ins about that, they maintain that any storage fees will be her responsibility due to the fact that it was her decision to have it towed to the tow yard.
She is so worried about the tow yard suing her for the tow and storage fees. Im telling her the car is totalled so don't even trip. I see this playing out one of two ways. Ins totals it, pay the fees to get it from the tow yard, and bills the fees to the finance company who will pass the bill on to her by adding it to the balance she owes. Or, the ins totals it, tow yard buys it, sells it to get their money and then some. Either way, she aint parting it out.

i say let her do it, most likely the issurance company will reimburse for the tow and i don't think she should try and part it out (unless there are mods under that hood or stereo that survived)
Why would I let her do it when our money is together and the car is all stock anyway? We aren't in a position to give money away, and that's exactly what we'd be doing if she were to pay the tow yard right now, even if she did pay them right this mintue, she couldn't get the car from there w/o permission from the ins company and they aren't gonna ok her taking the car until the asess the the damage and make a call on it.
