What the HAIL!!!!
The Titanium Terror is at least temporarily is renamed Dimples. The recent hailstorm got my 2003 Shinsen Miata. Yesterday the Dent Wizard's computer said StOP before he logged in all the dents. This is an 58k mile car that I have had since new and spent most of its nights in the garage. I have walked hundreds of miles from distant points of numerous parking lots. I assume it will be paid as a total loss and wonder if I I should settle and keep the car. Anyone have an idea what would be a reasonable salvage value or what they are likely offer. It would be hard to drive it looking like it is but it looks the same, almost from the windshield looking out.

I can tell you based on my experience as a catastrophe adjuster usually the salvage value on a hail damaged vehicle is around 35% of the ACV. The hail got my truck also, I had a good adjuster who wrote me a fair estimate but did not total the truck. I should be able to sell it as is with a clean title and still net full ACV out of the deal.
It all depends how you feel and what you want to do with the car. If you can not live with a less than a perfect car, which sounds like you, you should take the 'dent money' and try not to get a salvage title and sell the car as is. Than take the insruance money and with little more cash from your piggy bank to get a nice 06 NC. There are guys around here waiting in line to get your 'dimple' off your hand at TCB price to make a track toy out of it or not get too upset to drive it everyday!

As long as you pocket what you want I wouldn't worry about a salvage title.......
