Car Update 4? I think.
This might count as five, I don't know.
So. Apparently the body shop reported the repair cost to SGI. Cost is like $900 over the limit the insurer gave them.
Speaking of which, $9600? WTH? If we take the 75% value damage limit the insurer uses, that puts the value of my car at like $12800. I *paid* $14k for it. So in 4.5 years it only lost $1.2k of value?! Even if I drop that original vlaue by $1.5k for the previous damage (which was claimed on already) we're looking at $10800, which is still huge.
Of course, now I have to wait for the Total Loss Department to make a final decision. Which *should* take hours, but will probably take days. Yay. I just want to go buy a car, damnit!
