Does insurance get the car if you get another? If not sell the engine and ******. Hydroplaning is scary shit though

they take the car and auction it to a salvage yard i think. then the salvage yard sells it for parts or puts it back together with a Salvaged title on it and can turn aroound and sell it for a pretty penny.

some dealer ships actually sell cars that have been in collisions. all you have to do is pay for the repairs. they can add it to the initial cost and sometimes you can save big on a salvaged vehicle.

i had a co-worker do that with an 05 altima. the rear end was SMASHED in with less than 100 miles on the car. she bought it and had the repairs made. saved her close to 10 grand.

they will call it totaled at about $12k worth of damage. after that they will give me retail value of the vehicle.

i'm not sure if you can buy your same car back if they claim it as totaled. if they did claim it as totalled and pay you what they feel is the value of the car or they could just pay off what you owe. so in a sense you really won't make out much for crap if they claim it as totaled.

now if they did pay off what you owe and have a little left over i'm sure it's not going to be enough to repair it yourself. maybe enough to put a down payment on another car but deff not enough to buy it back and fix it w/o still going under.

plus, it would be a little hard to track the car as which ever company picks it up.

imo, just hope that the car can be repaired. if it can be and they take the car and fix it all up, turn around and sell it or trade it in. that depends on how bad you want a different car though.

don't take my word for all this. i'm no expert at ****ign with insurance nor have i been in multiple collisions. this is just what i've gathered as i live life.

One of my friends did that with a truck he totalled about 10 years ago but I don't know how he bought it back.

check used values of cars like yours with a salvaged title before you even think about goin that route.
