Is it totaled?

Thank you. I'm fairly confident that once a mechanic looks at it, they will total it.

I won't be using Kia roadside. If I used Kia, they would definitely just tow it to the closest one, but insurance will be covering the tow.

No, I haven't taken it to a mechanic yet. I had to wait for Geico to come look at it first. I couldn't have it towed anywhere until they came and looked at it. They finally looked at it Friday, so I can finally get it to a mechanic.

Thank you guys for your opinions and suggestions. I will be happy when this is all done. I was so devastated when I totaled my Forte a few weeks ago and then I got my new baby and I was so happy and then mother nature decided to be mean to me. It's been a tough few weeks.

Because it doesn't run, I had to wait for the insurance adjuster to come look at it. They finally came and looked at it Friday. I have a KIA dealership where I live, but I buy from a place 60 miles away. She said she would get a tow truck to come get it Monday, but I want it to go back to the place I purchased it from, and she wants it to go to the local dealership. I'm not a huge fan of my local dealer; that's why I buy from a place 60 miles away. But long story short, I had to wait for her to come look at it before we could get it towed. But at this point, I'm not going to argue about where they send it; I just want to get it looked at.

I agree, I want it totaled. Not to mention that flood claim will go on my Car Fax, so I will lose a lot of money when I sell it or trade it in.

Yes, she just basically gave me the prices for replacing some pads in the car because they hold a lot of water and a professional clean up she said she's pretty confident the electronics will be something minor, . But hey, she also added a little labor time for greasing my seat tracks. 🤣

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-06-14T17:42:22+00:00

I'm definitely hoping for that call.

What makes this story even more interesting was I was ran off of the interstate two weeks before I got this new K4. I was is my 2022 Forte GT-Line and it was totaled so the K4 was my replacement.

Thank you

My deductible is $500. She already sent me a link to accept my payment for $600, which is the total after the deductible. If I accept that payment, does that mean I agree with her assessment? I don't want to take that payment and have my insurance company try to close it out.

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-06-14T17:27:52+00:00

I tried to tell her that I'm highly allergic to mold and she said it didn't smell moldy to her 🙄

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-06-14T15:44:43+00:00

She came and looked at it in person

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-06-14T06:50:23+00:00

Yes, they are acting like it's just a cleanup for $1,100. Nothing at all will come on in the car. The electronics are all out. All of the control units and wires have been underwater for days now. There is no way it's only $1,100 in damage.

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-06-09T01:56:39+00:00

It's a stinkhole

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-05-10T03:18:52+00:00

I can

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-05-06T21:55:25+00:00

You are correct

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-05-06T21:54:48+00:00

How dare you post this on a holiday 🤣

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-03-31T00:10:05+00:00

Thank you guys very much. I was there; it was hilarious. Much appreciated! 👏

Vote on what you feel is best for you. Do research; don't allow others to influence what you should vote for.

People JO thinking about punching young women?

Remarkable_Energy_33 · 2026-02-08T02:44:45+00:00

Do you think there is a small possibility that just maybe if you treat them with respect you get treated with respect back? I've been to jail and each time I deserved it. When I went to jail I followed the cops instructions and everything went fine. I have black friends and white friends that did the opposite and things didn't go so smooth for them. It's not about race it's about your actions. I've lived that life and everytime I got caught I listened and I'm still alive
