I'm confused, you're telling me they want to total the Kia?

I thought you said you drove home in it... so there's not much wrong with it at all, right?

I don't get it... Surely a new hood and some minor bodywork is cheaper than the cost to total the car...


heard that! im keepin it,and fixin her. ive got damage to 3 doors both front fenders,hood, grill,headlights.markers. front passenger axle boot shredded. both radiators,and trans cooler.blue book is around 5000$ i figure it will never be as nice again.i aint gonna come out ahead in this game. so i'll fix it as good as i can with what they give me and try to be gratefull for that.
then im gonna retire my current backup vehicle, ford f150 to the farm. and go buy a toyota tacoma,or nissan frontier.
kia will probably get drove the most since it has remote start.onboard pc..and hey now its beatup and i dont have to worry about it.and as a regular hear says "body damage is cool"
