Update:

Talked with the adjuster from Geico today. He said there is a little over $21k in damages, including damage to the frame and engine cradle. They are waiting on the appraisal from CCC. He said that the total loss ratio in this case will be 70%, so by my math, if it is appraised at ~$30.5k or less, it will be considered a total loss.

KBB values the car at $33,765 and Edmunds has it at $30,300.

The adjuster is supposed to get the appraisal from CCC tomorrow or Friday, so I should be finding out the verdict soon. If he says it is totaled but comes in with a low appraisal, I think the best thing would be to send him links to comparable cars for sale in the area and their prices? Does anyone have any experience with disputing/negotiating a low appraisal from CCC/the adjuster?
