Best Answer

As a rule of thumb, if the repairs are up to approximately 60-65% of the actual cash value of the vehicle, it will most likely be totalled by the insurance company. The reasoning behind that is there are usually supplemental charges that were not included in the initial damage appraisal that could likely drive the price of the repairs up to or pass the actual cash value of the vehicle. No insurance company will pay more than the actual cash value of a vehicle.

What is Borderline total loss?

A total loss is when the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds a pre-determined percentage of the vehicle's value. For example, if your vehicle is worth $10,000 and the damage exceeds $7,000, your vehicle may be considered a total loss (depending on the state and your insurance company's policy). A borderline total loss would be (in the same example) if the damage to your vehicle is close to, but not quite $7,000.
