Surprisingly, it took until Friday for the insurance company to declare my sister's car a total loss. It's been at a body shop since the crash.

They offered her $5k for it, which would be generous in normal times.

Ironically, the rental car they gave her to drive is a VW Tiguan - the same car that wrecked hers.

So now she's shopping for something used, and not being very picky about it.
