Default Re: Car accident - damage might be > value of car...what\'s my play?

Perhaps it depends on the model. I've done comparisons (for curiousity's sake) and big mileage difference like your 25k vs 50k only made a small difference, maybe a few hundred dollars on an $10k car.

As an example, in early 2003, I bought a 1998 vehicle with around 30k miles on it, about half what the normal mileage on a 5 year old car would be. The cost of the vehicle was around $13k. With the normal mileage of 60k, the vehicle would've cost maybe $700 less.
