Your % for salvage is determined by your state. sounds like yours is 70% if that's what your adjustor said.
Second you need to call your adjuster and tell him you want it declared a total loss. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS YOU STAND A STRONG CHANCE OF NOT GETTING IT TOTALED.
The way it works for the adjuster when it's right on that fence is that they realize they'll have to continue going back, authorizing more repairs, etc etc. If you simply request it, I can just about guarantee you'll get the total.

I spent a crap load of time researching this with my car, let me know if you have questions
Thanks, Freak. I spoke with him yesterday on the phone and emphasized that I wanted it to be totaled. I cited future safety as a concern. He said that he agreed that it will probably be totaled, but he was just waiting on the appraisal from CCC. I am supposed to hear their appraisal number tomorrow morning, so I will post that as soon as I know. Hopefully it is fair.

I got a 2011 w/ sport pkg for $32K about four months ago and would be surprised to see an appraisal for it higher than $30K with the 5K miles it already has on it. Don't new cars lose like 10% of their value as soon as you drive them off the lot? The dealership offered me 2011 touring/sport/nav for just over $35K, so a 2009 with 30K miles should definitely be at $30K or less IMO. Best of luck man.

The harder you stress it the better, and be nice. My damage was less than 60% of the worth of my car, and in PA it has to be 80% if i recall correctly. but they still totaled it with the frame damage. Again citing more repairs down the road, etc etc.

But ya, be nice :)

It's definitely totaled! Start shopping for a new one!

Just talked with the adjustor. He said that it is, in fact, totaled. They valuated it at $29,730. They were pretty transparent in showing the valuation process. Apparently I can view the 6 "comparable" Zs that they used to arrive at the payout amount on the Geico website, so I'm about to go check that out to make sure that the Zs are actually "comparable". Oh, and they said that they would pay out the sales tax as well, so the total comes to around $31.5k. Now I just need to find another Z!

I also took the rear hatch cover out of the car, so I will be putting that up soon in the classifieds section, in case anyone is interested...

Hey man, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad the result of the insurance is to your liking.

I would recommend getting an all wheel drive GTR considering this accident might have been prevented with a little more HP and awd. :tup:

You still only have 4 points of contact with the road, AWD only helps you accelerate.
