My brother in law at one time worked in a junk yard. When they got cars in. They would look at the insurance papers, the year of vehicle, mileage, and blue book price. If the vehicle was what they call a 10%er. It would get fixed with a R-title. The junk yard made a nice profit of of them. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance but just had enough damage on it to go over the % rule. The junk yard had all the parts needed to fix it usually.
Thats for states that go off a ratio.
California and 20 other states do not go off a set ratio.
They go off of what I stated in my previous post.
2 states go off of a 100% ratio.
Then from there some smaller states are like down to even as bad as 40 or 50% but I have not heard of 10%. That is a hard to believe number unless maybe you are i. a tiny city or something
