I guess the starting point will your conversation with the assessor and letting him know you want it fixed. If it goes well great. If not, tell him you need some time before agreeing to anything.

Can't open doors right now. Hoping they do that on there inspection. That way they will check if anything else bent. And I will know what I need to fix it. But he was just looking at fender,2 doors, little bit of quarter damage and already thinking they would total it.

His insurance will have to pay to replace the car. Even if they total it, they have to give him enough payout to pay it off and get a vehicle of equal value. At least under Indiana law. Now what I’m not sure on is if that car is used as collateral on a different loan, then that likely changes things and I don’t know exactly how it’d work in PA.

Yep and you are legally allowed to have a second, unbiased assessment as well. Most body shops will do free estimates and assessments

For wagons I gotta say they're pretty cool.
My guess is the other insurance company may be in a weaker position to deem it unworthy to fix. The way I see it you're not under obligation to accept a compensation offer from them. With your own insurance policy you have contractualy agreed to accept their assesment methods - which changes the game.

Welcome back. We did our best to fill the void you left during your absence.
They have an outlet just under an hour away from here....
Your a better man than I.
Good luck and may schwarz be with you.
My grandfather used to say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"...
Until the accident...
When my younger son worked at a dealer in NC, one of the rental or trade in cars someone left a leg in there and nobody ever came to claim it..
Maybe it's still available and the proper side...
feeling under the weather too? I just got a call, the doc that reads my test results... took the day off so I wont know until at least tomorrow
He's got bad news and worse news....

Well. I have now sold and delivered 47 of the 50 calendars I had to order to keep the price down. If I sell 2 more, I break even...woohoo!
I usually lose about $150- $200 doing this, so breaking even will be a nice change.
Don’t get me wrong, I do it for the love of it and giving a few dozen friends a nice Christmas gift at a good price has always been worth it to me. It is just that breaking even isn’t something I expected.
