It’s not that it’s impossible to repair but the shops don’t want to do it as it’s complicated and they probably don’t have much experience, also the battery packs can be dangerous to handle.
Hence they produce some ridiculous quote to make the customer go away and shift the cost to the insurance. I bet the salvage company that bought the car will have no difficulty repairing the damage and selling the car again.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoWhen the insurance company totals the car, the insurance company is buying it from the driver. It very well may turn around and sell it to a salvage company, but they don’t have to. The most likely outcome in this situation is that the insurance company uses this car for parts, either in partnership with a salvage company or on their own. It happened to us a few years ago. When we went to sign the paperwork we commented on how strange it all felt and the insurance rep said not to worry - the car was worth more for parts than as a repaired vehicle.
