More or less as I expected.
The adjuster from the nice middle-school teacher's insurance company came up with the same approximate value for my car as I did, $2100. So he totaled it and wrote me a check for that amount minus $120 salvage fee. I keep the old Subaru and it's up to me to get it fixed with the $2000. Fortunately, my son-in-law, the body man, says he can and will do it for the cost of parts, about half the $2000.

Another Day in Paradise
Minding my own business...
I was sitting at a stop light, waiting for it to turn green. The left turn arrow for the lane on my left turned green and the nice lady in the SUV behind me punched it. She caved in the back of my Subaru. She didn't want to report it to her insurance company, she'd pay for it herself.
I drove directly to my son-in-law's work to get an estimate. $2800 dollars, preliminary because none of the actual estimators were there, probably higher.
The NADA high retail for my car is $2100. I called the nice lady with the SUV with the news. She had decided to report it to her insurance after all. There is no way her insurance is going to fix my
$2100 dollar car.
