Anytime the amount owed to repair is higher than the worth of the car, the insurance company will total the car and pay you the "blue book" value of the car. But, be sure that you ask for any other monies owed to you if the wrecked car was the fault of someone else, that is separate from the blue book value.

this is the point when your car is considered totalled, and the insurance company will pay you the value of the car. they cannot give you all the money necessary to repair the car, because, obviously, at this point, why would you spend more than the car is worth just to get it working again?

If you want to keep the car. You will have to repair it yourself or find a friend that is in the business and you work together and epair the car with the insurance money you will get. That is if it was insured.

Insurance company will usually offer you market value for the car instead of repairing. They take the car and salvage it. You get a check.

First, as others advise, it will be totaled & the insurance co. will offer to settle for it's "value." You do have the ability to negotiate that amount to a degree; especially dependent upon who was at fault. Argue wholesale vs replacement price.
SECONDLY, do you still owe on the car? If you have GAP coverage, that will cover the difference between what you owe vs what the Ins. Co. offers.

This is what is known as being "totaled". The Insurance will probably pay you what the car is (was) worth minus the deductible.

Your insurance company will total it out.
they will cut you a check for what the car is worth and you will be without the car.

you'll get what the car is worth. They would not fix it since the insurance would not fix it or it is least like to fix it.
