Guys,
I have a 2005 HSE LR3, it was in great shape until a rodent went inside the car and chewed some wires behind the CJB. Car starts but I am getting all dashboard lights on.
I brought car to an independent repair shop and I filed a claim to my insurance. The cost of repair the electrical issue is 12k because they need to remove pretty much everything.
Insurance is totaling car because of the repair cost and it is giving me $5k if they keep the car or $3k if I keep the car and then sell it (maybe to someone that can sell parts of the car). What is the best option here for me? I am in florida.
Thanks

They follow some type of kelly blue book to get the value of the car.

Since when does salvaged mean not able to fix? FL law or something? The very definition of salvaged means its something that was recovered from destruction. If it was mean I would salvage it and fix it myself. Just splice the wires up and good to go but I am also very comfortable with vehicle electrical work.
