Just like you mentioned, basically that's what it is - insurance tells you it's not worth the payout on your policy and that dictates lot of decisions. And you don't really get to argue with insurance how much damage they should consider a total loss.I'll just say that if you don't fix her, she will end somewhere in east europe and somebody will enjoy the hell out of her for the rest of the life.
I can never understand how a medium intensity damage can have american insurance companies declare a total loss. Probably the cost of labour + the throwaway culture.
Fix it, that car is completely fixable. And without too much effort I would say.
Edit: came too late, already thrown away. Sorry for your loss. But really, if somebody could elaborate for me... why? Why americans throw away perfectly repairable cars so easily?
Much like health insurance companies, car insurance companies got you by the balls and they know it.
As a Czech, I've lived in the US almost my whole adult life, but also can guarantee you that there are not going to be as many body shops for a Mustang in Eastern Europe. Even if you do consider Czech that, I wouldn't trust a shop there to fix it, that I can tell you.
