Agree! If the shop will not work it they probably expect many hidden issues that will make this worse than you can possibly imagine......if not now, later on down the road.

Not if they repair it, but it will have tainted autocheck, carfax and any other vehicle history report. They would have to declare a total loss in order for the title to change status. (As far as I know)

It was declared a total loss.... Insurance is offering a low settlement @ $25.1k. They are basing this off of transaction data from JD Powers. I dont buy cars through JD Powers... Looking on the major websites I cannot replace my car for 25.1k. Its an 09 base with 45k miles, 3lt with magnetic ride. I think I should be asking 29k gathered from what the same cars are going from on auto trader etc... Am I wrong?

Check kelly blue book. See where they are at. Will they allow you to remove your added parts?

You are lucky that it was totaled. If you have receipts for tires etc show that to them as well. You may be able to add a little . extra . Best of luck!
