Carfax shows totalled, any ideas?
Here's the deal: I'm looking at a 92 lsl with a salvaged title. I was able to get a carfax thanks to a couple members and see it on there as:
TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE Title or registration issued to insurance company ...on 02/08/2007. My question is, do you think the insurance company totalled it because the car wasn't worth enough in their book to fix? ...I have many pictures of the car, and it's for the mostpart just fine.The only damage I have found by asking and the pics is...the trunk won't close, because there's a crease on the back (see pic).

Weird, I had the same U-shaped impact mark on my bumper. Using my rear end accident as a bench, I'd say to repair this car would cost about $3000 at the most, high estimate..
The owner probably decided to claim a loss and take a check, buy the car back for cheap, and now wishes to sell it for more than what is was bought back for. -- Oh and that dent should dry-ice right out. /referenceit'llbuffrightoutcomments

I think he means with the metal work to repair the dent. The bumper is easy and no big deal. The dent would require either metal work (knocking it into shape), or ordering a new panel. Plus the labour, filler, primer, paint...Plus whatever support structures would need to be beaten back into shape.
That would get expensive fast.

My damage was very similar and included a total replacement of the rear deck lid and a slightly bigger dent in the panel.
Bill came to over $5000. Front end damage was not even assessed (got pushed into the vehicle in front of me). It was mostly superficial anyhow. This repair can certainly be done for cheaper. I was directed to a guy through a friend that was a genius with body work and caould have fixed me for maybe 2k, but you gotta pick who you trust for these things. -- Pic for reference. link
