I may have one for sale shortly too, though mine will be in...different shape. More body damage, but engine and 5-lug still there.

Edit: It's what USED to be the R for sale in my sig.

 

 

Yea my insurance co would not let me have my first R back.

look at it i really didn't want it back anyways.....

 

They don't generally "offer" it back.
You have to ask about buying it back for whatever "salvage" value you can negotiate.

I guess that makes since, I just never though about it that way.

 

Why does an insurance company get to keep your car?
You pay them to insure it. They shouldnt be able to keep it.
I think if its totalled they give you the money for it and you keep it.
Just like if you are in an accident, they send you the money to repair it, and then you get it back, they dont keep. I ******* hate insurance companies, its basically making two car payments at once.

 

Right, when insurance pays you, they're pretty much buying the car from you. There is usually a buyback option available, which at least for me is determined mostly by what other salvage yards would pay for it.

 

i was in a situation where i was given the option of either totalling my caR, after the value of the parts exceeded or could have exceeded 80% of the cars value, or kept heR and fix everything. i asked GEICO that if i chose to total the caR if i would be able to buy heR back. they said no because of some BS "liability" reasons. i dont know. very gay regardless. so im just gonna fix heR up and replace everything. that damn lizard is a douchebag .. for GEICO

 

If they are buying it from you they should give you what you paid for it, since you start insuring it when you buy it. Your rates usually dont go down buy the value of the car does.
I just see it in a whole different way than most.

 

Actually, I agree with you that they SHOULD give you that amount. Unfortunately, the way they see it is that what they WILL do is **** you over and give you as little money as possible to get you off their back. I say that in anger, but what they actually do, or are supposed to do, is give you enough money to buy a car that would essentially replace yours as far as condition and mileage goes when it was wrecked/stolen.

haha grow up, when a car is salvage that means the insurance company decided to pay you for the value of the car becaus the repairs costed a certin percentage amount
when you get the salvage check, that is to buy a new car and since the company sent you a check for the value of the car, it is their car now(with a salvaged out title becaus they bought it from you) then you can buy it back or the car will be sold at a auction so the insurance can make some of their money back which helps the insurance costs fro skyrocketing

Why is it thier car?
Did they make your monthly car payments?
Did they give you full value?
Did they overcharge you cause of the make of your car?
