I Told the owner the insurance will probably total it and let him keep the car. I posted a link to some nice 64 Darts for sale that are priced at $24,000+.
Dunno about that.
When my Barracuda was rear ended, the other guy's insurance company took care of everything. Big difference when a car looks like a rust bucket and when a car had a nice shiny finish. They paid for the repair, adjuster was fine with me using the same shop I had the body work done at several years earlier, and they paid for a full time rental car. The last was a unneccessary, but that's the way they wanted to do it.
