...salvage title (florida)? So the other day, I was in the parking lot when this ass hat decided to back into my car (despite the fact that I was honking my brains out) while I was stuck between him and a tree. The damage done wasn't so bad; the hood was bubbled up just a tad, but still locked shut on the latch, and the grill was cracked a little, and the front light pushed out of place (but still working perfectly). I filed a claim and whatnot, and it turned out the dude and I both have Progressive. His lady calls me and tells me that I have to take it in to get an estimate because the guy felt that I had already had damage prior to his SUV using my hood as a see saw...Anyways, the insurance company declared my car to be a "total loss" and offered $1800 for my car...The lady said I had to sell them my car, and keeping it "was not a reasonable option" because my car would "no longer be eligible for insurance coverage or registration". If I decided to keep the car, she said they'd cut their offer down to only $1,400!I did a little research and found the blue book value was 3 grand in perfect condition and I paid about $2,500 for it. So I'm trying to see why this chick is saying my car is worth 1,100 less then the actual value of the car...can she isn't answering her phone (grrrrrrrrrrrr)Anyways, I wanted to make sure this was something I can do...Can I keep my car, buy insurance for it, and get it registered in the state of Florida if I change the title to a Salvage Title?This is so unfair; the accident wasn't even my fault!BTW, SCREW PROGRESSIVE THEY SUCK!I need my car! If I let these jerks take my car for less then it's worth, I'll be taking it up the tailpipe....(no pun intended)
