Cost To Buy Back Your Car?

[bloodsword27]

lets say ur car is in an accident/theft/whatever and u have the option to purchase it back from the insurance company/auction, just wondering:

-how much u bought it back for?

-which company (or from auction)?

-was it worth it?

what do they value your car on? what if u take parts out before the insurance inspection? can you legally do that?

My friend got rear-ended in his mazda 121. He has 3rd party insurance and other car had no insurance.

My friend's insurance offered him $3000 or $2600 if wants to keep car.

So he paid $400 to keep his car.

when my 33 got written off 2 years ago (rear ended), i got offered to buy the wreck back for 4k, it had a fresh engine, and lots of suspension mods so i bought it back.

sold engine and box for $4k, then made another 4-5k on the rest of the car
