Fix it, and drop the comprehensive coverage. You are paying money and they think the car is worthless.

I would replace the window, due to the way jobs are, you car is a gas saver. You could also get your money back and more if you sale it. But why have car payment when jobs or not for sure........


odzookers
ONE car payment would be a lot more than $100. When was the last time you had a car payment? You've had a free ride for a long time, so a small amount (your old car HAS no value) shouldn't kill you. By the way, you can likely get a windshield, installed, for $150, total, and they'll come to you.


entidtil
It was totaled because the repairs were at least 70% of the "fair market value" of the car. If they are giving your car back to you AND giving you $100.00, I would use that $100. to put in a new windshield ($150.-250.) on my own and keep driving it. You could also consider buying a used windshield from a junkyard and having a handy person install it for you. Installing it is not rocket science. I would also drop all coverages except liability and perhaps med payments (PIP) because your car has no "market value"
