The insurance company IS paying for it. They can either fix the car or pay for a new car and write off the old one. They are saying the value of the car is $3000 which is fair, and the cost of repairs is more than the car is worth.

I reread the post and no they aren't paying for fixing the car, just offering what they think the value of the car is. They would find themselves in court if it was mine as mine is worth a damned sight more than 3K. RT
