Default Lost a good one today

After 6 years and 60k miles of mostly trouble-free ownership, my step-daughter got rear ended while driving it about a month ago. I'd figured it would be a total loss because the unibody damage is quite severe but I just got official word that the at-fault party's insurance is going to total it out (about $5,100 in total repairs). I'm outside of Raleigh, NC and Copart should be picking it up within a week or so. The motor and trans are solid and I've replaced most of the suspension so keep an eye out if you're in NC and need parts. I'm sure it will show up in the junkyard soon enough

Sorry to hear… wondering what they will payout

This is the concern in driving a fully depreciated car that Blue Books so low.

Thanks. I'm getting $5,400 for it which I thought seemed fair enough. It had 190k miles with peeling clearcoat and torn seats. I paid $3500 for it originally and put about $3k in parts in it (which includes two sets of tires) over my ownership.
