Yeah that would have raised the ACV sufficiently.
So I gather your repairs must have been...a lot. Can’t remember in that thread... $20k? But with the DOV and rental/storage/etc., total costs to insurer probably pushed over $40k?
The thing that made yours relatively easy to total is that the damage was super minor and the car just needed the tensioner done and the pyrofuse replaced (maybe not even that?) and it was good to drive. So salvage value was high!
Salvage value of the vehicle above is definitely a lot lower! Not drivable and probably needs a new rear motor and suspension - and perhaps a new battery -in addition to the other cosmetic things.
super minor?
They had to remove almost the entire rear of my car...seats and all. $29k not including rental @ $43 per day.
