Well, the insurance company was able to get the adjuster out this morning, and yes, the car is totalled. Having had time to look at the damage without trees sitting on it, yes, it's bad. And there is a strange piece of metal on the lawn which probably came off the car. And it makes a very scary rattle when you turn it on. So, yes, it's dead, Jim.
But then there was the good news. We're not getting Blue Book value, we're getting replacement. Which is a lot better.
I'm going to try to stop over at the local used car place, which we've bought a few cars from over the years. They have another Subaru, a year older, but much lower milage, for just a bit more than we're getting from the insurance company. If nothing else it should last until we've paid off the other car and actually have some money each month for a car payment. It also wouldn't raise the car insurance bill much at all.
They've had the car for a while, so hopefully it won't disappear before I can get there and see if it will work. It's not a sports version so the seats shouldn't be those weird bucket type things, which they are using in the newer Imprezas. I sat in two today, and yes, I need to lose weight, but those things were not designed for normal size women with hips. I could lose every extra pound I own, and they would still have been uncomfortable.
