It will only cover the policy's maximum, which is less than the full replacement value by at least 40k.
I doubt they carry an umbrella policy in addition to their cheap The General insurance.
We'll see what happens when they appraise it. They may take it, total it out, and then sell it at auction. Whatever they get at auction would be deducted from the price, so there's that. I have no idea what it'd be worth at that type of auction. Probably a fair amount of money, still. The engine alone is worth like 50k.
You think the chances of it being totaled are better than them just repairing the body work?
Yup. I'm thinking it's 20k for the parts alone - and that's a low estimate. Just the headlight is about $5500 - and that's gonna be a good six months waiting period.
So, odds of totaling it out and selling it at auction are pretty good. I'd say it's 50/50 knowing what I know about the insurance agency.
Well at least you don't have anything to worry about, you will either have it repaired or replacement funds.
You just can not enjoy it for now
