Yeah, they've gotta look that shit up and actually verify the parts are available.
The good news is that I'm an idiot.
The car's a 2009, not a 2014. So, it'll be worth less (though far from worthless - ha! I crack me up!) than I figured. It should be worth pretty close to the limit of the dude's insurance.
If I listened carefully, the dude stressed that there's a good chance they just total it out and declare it a complete loss. I may also get the chance to "buy" it for cheap. They can total it out and I'll pay 'em like 10k and be able to fix it (on a salvage title) or just part it out. The parts alone are worth a fucking fortune.
even I knew it was a 2009, you sent me the link LoL
Taking the check and buying it back might be the best of both worlds, hell, start with a 5 grand offer
At this point, all I can do is wait. They didn't even give me a specific time/date. They just said 'within a few days'. They did ask if I needed a rental. I declined.
I am sure that those parts are going to be quite pricey.
