Mice got all inside my 2016 car. Passenger seat belt set off the airbag light. Turns out they chewed up some wires. Dealership found mouse evidence under almost every panel front to back and decided to total the car.

The dealership and KBB quoted about 7 grand for the car, but insurance gave me nearly 13 grand as the payout. That money plus some of my saving went straight into buying a new car. Fully paid up front.

I was real sad at first to have my car be totaled, but after getting the phone call saying how much the payout would be, I didn't mind so much. Getting a new car had been on my mind for a while, so it ended up working out perfectly in the end.
