If the cost of fixing the jeep is half or more of the book value of the jeep, I bet they total it. How many miles were on the jeep?

I think around 105,000

Well, I just kelley blue booked it and its private property price lists at $3,880 in excellent condition, $3,480 in good condition, and $3,000 in fair condition. Given the damage that was done, chances are that the repair bill will come over $2,000. Remember insurance companies will replace what needs replaced with "new" parts, where as you could probably get away with using "used" parts. I am sure that you would be able to find an used window and steering column in a junk yard. Cleaning the interior and the labor is what is going to really kill your price. Also, re-keying the car shouldn't be too bad, but the wiring could run into problems because if they did hot wire, or whatever, your car there is a chance that they may have ruined other instruments on your dash....

The insurance co. has to total out a car when it hits 75% to value and they DO NOT have to use new parts as the parts on the Jeep were used. This is true for most states and can vary some but its a good rule of thumb. If they do total it out you do have a chance to buy it back usually what they could sell it to a junk yard or a shop for. That side window only cost around $150.00 and the rest is going to have and run another 2,400 before it probably considered totaled. You said they have to re key the car but if the theive did not get the keys why would it have to be re keyed? Having a car re-keyed only cost around $250 to have done.

They have to rekey the steering column because it was completely missing. The locks on the doors are obviously fine.

gotta love our neighborhood warpath. I haven't known anyone who's had a car issue but we had a bike stolen during the daytime and there's always a gunshot or two every couple days here. I mean around Halloween we even had our freakin carved pumpkin stolen off our porch before we walked around and found it just chillin on someone else's porch so we stole thing that right back.

I heard today that it will cost $2300 to fix it so the insurance company considered it totaled. Im waiting to hear from the total loss department. I'll let you guys know what they quote me.
