I got hit in a parking lot by a little old lady cutting acrros the parking lot. They wanted to total my car and I told them no. They subtracted the salvage amount and cut me a check for the rest. A oem fender and some color matched paint cost less than 500. So this story is bullshit.

According to another comment:

Apparently the Cybertruck is way more unibody than most cars, their "gigamold" technology or whatever where the truck is made out of a small number of unusually large parts means a bolt-on bolt-off repair on most cars is "the entire cab is bent, it's done" on the DePlorean.

By a ebike no less. What a POS those things must be.

And you have a salvage title which has lost most of its resale value and is harder to insure

I don't have a salvage title and I wont have one. Ownership was not transferred to them. Title is still in my name with no changes. I know how a salvage title works. Spent a huge part of my life directly involved in the car business including salvage related vehicles. I refused to let them total it. That is allowed. Like I said, it was dented fender. I'm never going to sell it while its running. Its old enough I can keep it running forever with no proprietary tools. I had just put a import motor in it a few months before. Even with their pathetic salvage offer in the settlement it was less than a third of what the car goes for at any car lot.
