new York law not to fix the car if repair cost more than value of the car."
The insurance company-as others have written-is not being upfront and square with you (imagine that!). I live in New york also - Long Island - and have had three of my cars and one repair client's car "totaled" through no fault of my own. In each case negotiation brought the amount offered upped and we did not have to give up the titles - or the cars - in fact the '99 Saab needed nothing to make it saleable and useable by the next owner -- the others became parts cars. The insurance companies were more than happy not to have to retrieve a car they would have to tow and store and in end, sell to a scrap yard for peanuts. The Saab had the highest buy back price of $200 -- deducted from the $2900 settlement. Sold that one for $800 as a driver. Parted out the others. -- Dave
