That's too funny. As I was reading your post, I was recalling my experiences with hail, and two vehicles I major damage on. One occurred in Colorado Springs, the other in Pueblo, Colorado. One was totaled, the other about $5,000 in damage.
The one I had about $5k in damage on, I used that insurance check to put a down payment on a new vehicle. It sounds sleezy, but the dealer gave me a trade-in amount that was about what I'd get for the car without any damage. I think he took in my damaged car and claimed it with the rest of his cars that had damage. I couldn't have purchased it without that extra $5k, I think he did it just to make the sale. I remember saving a LOT of money on that transaction.
