Hey Altitude, sorry I didn't respond. This is Patience (aldeki).
Anyways yeah the car ended up getting the destruction title. The insurance company pretty much said this is what we are offering you and if you don't like it well too bad we are dropping the case. Which sucks.
Anyways the insurance estimated it at about 5k, which is way too low for the car in the condition I had it in and the miles it had. I've seen some for sale for 6.5k with twice as many miles and in half the condition mine was in. Plus the fact is anyways it was worth way more to that than me, so some little check isn't going to help me forget about this.
And I need to send it out for the destruction title because I can't keep the title to my car, then I could just get it fixed and drive it like nothing ever happened. The only way I could do that is if I just dropped the insurance case and fixed it myself, but it's about 5.5k worth of damage and I just don't have that money now and with moving across the country I just know it would end up forgotten somewhere. So I can go with the destruction title to get a check for the car at least.
All in all it's a pretty ****ty situation, but at least someone is getting good use of the DASC and someone is buying the whole car so hopefully they'll get some nice parts from it. I mean it was a beautiful car and I'm pissed I got it taken away just like that, but what can you do. I could rant on forever, but I'll stop here.
Thanks for asking though what ended up happening.
