Was sitting at a stop sign and a 72 yr old Granny turned off the highway into my lane and hit me dead on. Her insurance called me and said they were pretty sure they were going to total it. Their adjuster is going to go over it Fri. It was a beautiful Guard Green Premium Performance Pack automatic. I loved it. I worked a long time and paid for two colleges and a wedding before i bought it. Oh well.

That doesn't look totaled, even with how expensive body work has gotten. Must be LOTS of hidden damage.

Sorry about your car, and I'm really sorry there are so many incompetent drivers around doing the rest of us in.

They called me and told me based on their models, to expect it to be totaled. Their adjuster hasnt looked at it yet, so you may be right. One thing limiting the value might be the mileage...110k. Otherwise it looks and runs nearly new and has new tires.

The airbag under the steering wheel deployed. They asked about that.

One thing i did notice was that, at impact, the car was shoved back and afterward continued to roll back freely. Even though i had my foot on the brake, stopped, with the car in drive.

So the car has been totaled officially and i received an initial offer of 18,767.00. I looked through their workup and it was quite thorough, but i noticed they did not list the Performance Pack in the optional equipment. I sent a copy of the car window sticker (that i received right here on mustang6g!) in support of that, and they upped their offer to 19,510.00.

Im pretty happy with that; i paid 18k for the car 2 years ago. I'm not counting my money just yet, but i feel like i've been treated very fairly.

I feel it's a shame how cars today end up totaled before their time. This happens because some shops will get more money if a car is not totaled and they can overwrite the car and get away with it which screws the owner also because they end up with a salvage title and the adjuster gets screwed for not totaling the car it's a bad situation all around.

Plus the inflated prices that the car manufacturers charge for parts cause repairs to be much more expensive than they should be.
