When I went to start it, I got interior lights, the usual start up routine, plus solenoid, so I knew it wouldn't start. No reason to keep trying that. Jump: He hooked up the battery pack (correctly), car started first key turn in the time it took him to get from the hood to the key, I pulled it out of the parking space took it no farther than 25 yards, and it died while in drive. After that? Nothing. No interiors, no locks, warning flashers, no solenoid. No worries about being a downer, rather cover all the bases. I can't fathom that the insurance company would go see it after talking to the shop if they thought it a snowball's chance in hell that it would be covered. Frankly, I'm sure the inspector and the shop know each other well. Good working relationship anyway. His point about totaling it was not that he would be totaling it, but that the cost to repair would amount to the same thing.

It's still very possible that it's something battery or alternator related. I can't imagine it's what they said....but maybe. Totaled? I doubt it. As others have said, I would certainly get a second or third opinion. It can't hurt. It may be very minor. Good luck and keep us posted for sure.

One thing to do is you can negotiate with your insurance company on the value. You can look at some of my old posts. I had some one hit my rear quarter panel. Took 6 months to get repaired as there where NONE available in the world. Headquarters in Germany had a back order of 27 of them. Any way, I spoke with my insurance, noted that this was not a typical X5. Said to do search for comparable 03 Estoril 4.6is with piano black interior trim and factory tow hitch and my miles. They ended up covering repairs up to $12700. This was in 2013. Receipts, and research are your friend.

Six months? Sheesh. But heartening to know that it worked out!

I did my research and spoke with my adjuster. I did not have to pursue it farther, but was ready to do so.
