Cost of repair with all OEM parts is $7000. Allstate is willing to pay $4100 with it being totaled, sans salvaged title. Then I would have to cover the difference or compromise on part cost. So pay the additional 2900 to repair a vehicle with 230,000 miles on it. The Transmission is going to go soon, but no one at allstate needs to know that.
Option 2: I salvage the vehicle with Allstate and they will give me $7800, I finally talked them up from $6,300 after they checked out pictures of the rest of the vehicle.
I am taking the almost 8k and using as a down payment on a newer vehicle and I am not going to route of the x5 this time. Owning and maintaining an x5 for 8 years was fun.
Thanks for all your help here.
