21#1 What was the KBB value of your car before the accident? #2 Did you check the VIN on your alleged car? #3 "Sticker price of $18K" does not mean "sale price of $18K".– RonJohnCommented Aug 9, 2021 at 14:48

47"Totalled" also doesn't mean undriveable. It just means the cost to repair (if possible) is more than the value of the car. Your insurance company is within its rights to pay you the value of the car and move on. You probably could have kept driving, but you'd have to find someone else to insure it (and that someone else would absolutely want to know about the tree that may have damaged the frame beyond safe repair).– chepnerCommented Aug 9, 2021 at 14:54

8Even if it is your car, just because they are selling it doesn't mean they should be selling it. (My parents once bought a used car that developed engine problems in under a year. Their mechanic discovered sand in the engine, and a title search revealed the car had been in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.)– chepnerCommented Aug 9, 2021 at 14:56

7Did you get an estimate on the repairs? Do you know for sure it was only a few thousand dollars? This doesn't at all feel like a scam to me.– JohnFx ♦Commented Aug 9, 2021 at 15:26

9@David258 The used car market is insane right now in the US for a variety of pandemic-related reasons, so stuff is actually selling for higher than I would normally expect. google.com/search?q=us+used+car+shortage– user3067860Commented Aug 10, 2021 at 15:46

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
