| sethnintendo said: I've gotten about 4k in hail damage payouts with very little noticeable hail damage occurring the second time. I got it fixed the first time for about half of what they gave me (they gave me 2k and I got it fixed for a little over 1k). Then another hail storm came through a year or so later and they gave me another 2k. I didn't get it fixed since then though which sucks cause if a huge hail storm goes through then I can't claim again. I need to get it fixed for about 1k again sometime or just say fuck it and take the risk. |
This guy makes an important point:

Since it's totaled, you will have "Salvage" marked on the title and have to get it inspected before you can drive it legally again. Just sounds like a hassle, but I'm super lazy.
Good luck either way, never fun dealing with insurance companies. (Watch if your rate jumps after this.)
