Envision. The car was worth like $18k but with labor the fender was about $7.5k and since that’s over 40% of the value, it automatically totaled. I argued to no avail and almost kept it but the damage title wasn’t worth it.
Totaling a car over 40% is wild to me, is this a normal thing in the US? A bus drove into my grandma’s car last year and the damage was something like 11k Euros on a 16k car. The bus insurance paid for the full repair.
