Psicho54, in my experience in totaling an S2000, the initial pass of damage was about 14k, I think? On the subsequent teardown, they found an additional 9k in damage, which just barely made it so they would total it...something I was fighting for. Starting at 9k, I doubt they will find enough to total it, which is both good and bad, depending on your perspective.

It sure sucks, doesn't it? Been there, agonized that...

Good luck and keep us posted...!

 

If it was totaled then then the lease would absorb the loss.
