I posted my car online to sell and a few weeks later I got hit by a deer. The deer severely dented in the driver side door (can’t open anymore), shattered driver door window, dented driver side rear door, cracked windshield and dented panel right next to windshield. The field adjuster came out and said,
“Preliminary estimate on IV attached (repair estimate) - $5029.88
Market Value Report to confirm value for the Subaru is $9,748- Total Loss threshold is $7,311
IV appears repairable unless Supplement over $2000
IV will need to be towed to shop- torn down and any hidden damage confirmed”
My question is, how do I get the most money for my car in this situation?

My question is, how do I get the most money for my car in this situation?
- Do I get the repairs done and sell it (North Carolina law doesn’t require insurance companies to compensate for depreciation). It also has another hit on the history when I had to get the roof replaced two months ago.
- Keep the money and sell as is, hoping to get a fair amount for the car when I sell it.
- Any other ideas that I haven’t thought of.
