Answer 1

i own a repair shop,and they,ll total it out,,and more than likely the pay off is a lot less minus the interest on it,,but id say they will right it off for you ,,usually in these cases they pay the remaining balance off on it,,you don't owe no more,,but you no longer have a car either,,this is usually how its done,you may come out of a few hundred dollars to the good,it has happened before,good luck with it,hope this help,s,happy new years.

Answer 2

Most insurance companies will consider the vehicle "totaled" if the cost to repair is more than 75% of the value of the vehicle.

the value of the vehicle is normally determined by an insurance company "red book" which is similar to "Kelly Blue Book"

The sad news for you is that your balance owed to your lender has absolutely nothing to do with it.
You have an obligation to pay the full amount to the lender.
This is why lenders offer "GAP" protection.
Gap protection (or gap insurance) was probably offered to you when you signed your loan contract......If you bought it, it makes up the difference, if your vehicle is lost, totaled, or stolen.
If you did NOT buy it, you are still obligated to pay your loan as agreed, regardless of your insurance settlement deficiency.

I hope you bought GAP.

Answer 3

I need to know the point of impact, Make and Model as to how much it will cost to restore. As for totaling out the car your insurance should give you a reasonable quote on the value of the car with the remaining balance up to you to pay off the car. Luck to ya my dear.
