A lot of times, believe it or not, the owner of the vehicle has a lot of influence on an insurance adjuster....if the owner uses the "magic words" or is adamant that he wouldn't feel safe being in this vehicle anymore and the adjuster gets the feeling that additional damages would present themselves during the repair process, he or she would total the vehicle out to avoid an unhappy and disgruntled customer in the future..... the posted amount of the estimate was 28k....upon receiving the vehicle I am entitled to a copy of that estimate from the auction....then it will be easy to see what the estimator wrote to be replaced.....
I'm not entirely sure but I think the previous owner of this vehicle might be a present member of this forum......
