<prompt> Human: Bought a used car from CarMax for 15K last week. I have amazing timing and had my first wreck a week later. The wreck was my fault, but I didnt think it would be totaled. The estimate of repair cost from the adjustor is 10,509.01 and he says the value is 13,054. They say that when the repairs are greater than 80 of the value of the car, it is considered totaled. However, from a quick search on google everything says that the threshold in Texas is 100, not 80. In this case, the repairs are 80.5, just over the supposed 80 thershold.Should I fight them on it being totaled? If it is fixed, the car will still have less value since it was in an accident, but if its totaled, I doubt I will get back what I paid for the car a week ago.They offered me 13,900 today and I told him I bought the car a week ago and paid 16,200 including taxes and that I couldnt accept his offer. I sent him the Bill of Sale and havent heard back yet. How much do you think Ill be able to get, if I dont fight it on being totaled?EDIT: They have odomoter wrong the in the valuation report. They have 13,398 and it was barely above 12,000. If they corrected that, it may push the repairs below 80.Assistant: If you want to keep and repair the car, ask how much it would cost you to buy the car back at salvage value. If they give you 13,900, and you can get it fixed for 10,509, then if you can buy it for 3,400 or less, it might be worth fixing if it would be structurally sound after the repairs. Human: Id just be afraid of the repairs actually costing more than 10,509  <response>: They will. Plus more damage once they tear down the vehicle, a vehicle will have less value as a salvage vehicle, and it will be weaker. The next hit could kill you.
