I own my car outright. Can I keep the car after insurance pa

I was restoring my 91 Mercedes-Benz 300E. The other driver was at fault. They declared that it was a total loss. Can I keep my car even though they paid for a total loss. I have been looking for another car and there is nothing comparable. I was not asking to have my life interrupted and now I will have to buy a piece of shit.

If they don't want the title, yes you can keep it. However, they should then deduct the salvage value from their offer.

You should consult an insurance agent to resolve your query.

An agent would have nothing to do with a legal matter or the claim.

Is correct. Just make sure you get your payout as high as possible to offset your repair costs.
