Care to see what Progressive thinks a totaled '83 300D looks like?

Got rearended Friday.. 15-20mph rear passenger side bumper. Minimal visible damage.

However, Progressive wants to total the car.

The rear passenger taillight was busted out, the trunk lid bent a little, as well as the back facing. (it had to be pulled back an inch to close the trunk). In the rear panel shot you can see 2 dimples that were not there prior to the accident. And now the rear passenger door drags on the body when you close it.

Overall I think they are wrong, but.. if the rear body has been twisted...

They are offering me a little more than 3k for the car. No word yet on the offer if I don't surrender the car to them.

While it wasn't beautiful, it was in good shape with no rust whatsoever.
