I drove through a large puddle, and the engine seized, insurance had me bring it to a shop, the mechanic looked it over, and they wrote up a repair estimate. Aside from an oil and and something else that’s an easy fix, it just needs a new engine. Water didn’t get inside the car at all! But I’m happy to answer questions to the best of my ability! I **really don’t know much about selling cars, no matter the condition!

What is the insurance co's response to the estimate?

The estimate is from the insurance people! They had me bring it to a shop, and they came up with that together! I have the full report to I’ll add to the comments!

I only asked because I assumed if it was repairable, they'd pay for it. If they say it's junk and won't fix it, that might be something you'd want to include in your advert.

They did say they would repair it! That was in the description in the link, they estimated 4000$ to repair, but my deductible is high and I don’t have that right now! So I put the money they gave for the repairs towards the loan

This makes zero sense. Ask your mechanic EXACTLY what happened and write it down. Put that in your ad.

But that’s what happened, I guess the term for it is hydrolocked after googling it. But that’s all I did, drive through a large puddle while rounding a corner, and the engine seized and didn’t start back up. After that I had it towed, it sat while waiting for an appointment, after mechanic and adjuster looked at it, a new engine and acouple other things is what they came to the conclusion of. I’m not sure what info you need to answer my question, but I can answer the questions to what I know.
