[QUOTE="Jeff Antonucci, post: 993278, member: 67669"] You have to be real careful when you file an insurance claim on an older vehicle. If the damage is too close to the vehicles value, the insurance company can total it and take it away from you. I had a 10 yr old car with a fenden bender and they totaled it on me and I could not stop them. I was able to buy it back, rapair it and get a R title but now with the R title it is almost worthless. I expected trouble so I never let the body shop or insurance company take posession of the car. That way at least I had some control. If I ever have to do this again, I will get my own estimates and only show them to the insurance company if they are less that 80% of the vehicle's value. [/QUOTE]
