I never heard of an insurance company that will help with the cost of selling the car at a later time... once the insurance settles... it's settled.
If they told you this, you might want to firm this up in writing.
Does anyone remember the story about my 16y/o's wrecked Civic? Anyway, it seems like everything's about straightened out. Damage was estimated at $7700 (sounds about right to me), and they're telling me that it should take about 10 weeks to fix. Does that seem a little long? Not like it matters to me right now, because he has a rental (at the expense of the Explorer bitc...I mean woman). I know I shouldn't expect the repairs to be fixed quickly, but a mechanic once told me that damages can usually be fixed on an "average" based on damages. He said that $1000 of damage usually takes, on average, one week to fix.
Also, as soon as this vehicle is fixed I plan to immedately sell it and purchase a new car for him. Wrecked car is a 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe (top of the line), green/beige. I got a good deal on this vehicle, $15,500. I know insurance is supposed to cover my losses in selling the vehicle later based on the damages, but would anyone be able to estimate much loss between $15.5K? I see used Civics advertised more expensive than new ones!
I know this isn't about BMW's, but I don't know of any Honda boards, plus I trust my Bimmer buds! =)
