Your % for salvage is determined by your state. sounds like yours is 70% if that's what your adjustor said.
Second you need to call your adjuster and tell him you want it declared a total loss. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS YOU STAND A STRONG CHANCE OF NOT GETTING IT TOTALED.
The way it works for the adjuster when it's right on that fence is that they realize they'll have to continue going back, authorizing more repairs, etc etc. If you simply request it, I can just about guarantee you'll get the total.
I spent a crap load of time researching this with my car, let me know if you have questions

Thanks, Freak. I spoke with him yesterday on the phone and emphasized that I wanted it to be totaled. I cited future safety as a concern. He said that he agreed that it will probably be totaled, but he was just waiting on the appraisal from CCC. I am supposed to hear their appraisal number tomorrow morning, so I will post that as soon as I know. Hopefully it is fair.
