Now in Sparq's defense, he may have a point. YES, hail can damage a car enough to total it out. However, as was stated, when an insurance company totals a car, it is because the damage repair cost exceeds the car's value. We don't know what the extent of the hail damage was, or, for that matter, what the condition of the car was before the hail damage.
I could have been a gorgeous car with low miles and well maintained, and victim to one wompass hail storm.
Or it could've been a waining honda, somewhere around 85K miles and up, and as we all know, needing a lot of things replaced, (timing belt, CV boots/joints, clutch, etc.) and a small ammount of hail damage could have totaled it.
It's a weighted decision, and without more info about the car and the damage caused, I don't believe that any of us can make the call. So, DizzyDy, make an informed judgement based on the car's worth and the damage caused and what they are asking for it, baring in mind the salvage title on it.
