Default Total loss or what!

Well after my accident on 6.21.08 I finally got the figures from the repair dealer on my 07 Road Glide. Total repair for parts and labor is a little over 12k, now for the insurance adjuster to hash it out with the dealership. I don`t know if they will total it or what, if they don`t it will be a long summer. Time will tell [].

If it helps, my one year old Heritage Softail was considered totalled when the repair estimate reached $11K. Be persistant.

I have been told by an adjuster that they have no choice but to total if repair is 70% or more of the Kelly or other value guides.

pull the NADA value.&nbsp\\; Most companies total between 70% and 80% of that value.&nbsp\\; Ask the adjuster what the open amount is on the estimate... if it's a few grand then it could be a total.

Kansas law says they have to total it at 75% of retail value, I think most states have similar laws, the DMV should have the answer for your state.

My 07 FLHT had 19000 miles and was at 10K on damages and it was put back together.
