Ok here goes... I hope this helps others as someone here did for me. I think perhaps SlingLow ( Darn memory) .
The very short of it was the frame was "scratched" Seriously that was it.
Whenever the "frame" comes up in a report they don't want anything to do with it. Had that not been in the report they would have fixed it. Good as new and with the parts list they had even better.
Had I chosen to fix it I would have come out even money wise. 8K. BUT it would have had a "Branded title" as a "total loss". No matter what the finished condition was it would be worth at best half its price if it was not a "total loss". THEN any insurance company that would even think of insuring me would want/need a mechanics written report on road worthiness AND the DMV would have to sign off as well. Then I may only be able to get lib insurance and good luck getting collision as you are wide open to " that was there before" - not going to cover it. All this with a vehicle that is worth half its "true value".
In the end I just had to let her go. Waaaaay to much red tape, possible that it would not be insurable, half the value, good luck trying to sell it some day. Better to start over.
So the sling being the sling if ANYONE gets in an accident and there is a hassle or whatever just get them to say the frame was scratched and it is over. Done. Move on.
Still letting this all settle out and I am still pleasantly on them to give me more for what they are offering. See the below I noticed in the paperwork. The quest continues ....Untitled1.pdf
That's good advice, for anyone. Certainly sounds like you made the right choice. Good luck. Can't wait to see what you replace it with.

Nice! ..... But if I’m gunna shell out 17k +2 more for T T&L for a 2015 l’m one step away from a 2021 Base Starter Kit 5 speed stick. And the difference between a Base and a SL is 5k. 5 k is more than enough for me to put my stink on it.
We are an anomaly in that we don’t do music - never have, wind is all we need. All I want is a back up camera, sticky tires, DDM 3 ways, grabby breaks, nice paint and trim, and a destination. The rest takes care of itself.
Oh, and I did get my roll bar racks and barrel bags off so you will know it’s us🙂Gettin’ hungry 😎

Sorry it couldn’t be repaired SoCal ! The new ones are pretty nice though. Is she an organ doner? My wife’s Sling needs a signal switch. Be happy to make a offer.
send me what you are looking for (picture) and if I get to the salvage yard I will try to “pick a part”🙂

Sorry to hear this SoCal !
I know in the other thread I figured they would be weary of repairs considering the rear looked to have snapped and repairing that on a high-risk vehicle to begin with spells trouble in an insurance agency's mind. Of course they'll tell you something else, but they probably crunched the numbers and figured better to replace now than repair and risk litigation later...
Glad to hear you've come around to the new models so quickly... 😎.
Definitely go with a base and add what you want as you go. Good luck and looking forward to your new adventures and PICTURES!

SoCal Found this one on the other forum...

2015 Base and SL's with less than 10,000 miles. For $15,000 or less. Sometimes you will run up on a 2015 Red SL for $13,000. That is how I ended up with Sling II

We have had some early model SlingShots in Oregon go for under $10,000. Look at states that have little to no dealer support. The biggest bummer for us if this happened is that several of our mods are no longer available.

SoCal , If, in your search you happen to find a great deal in the upper midwest or even lower I have nothing to do and am open to a road trip to get it to you.. Very serious about this offer, dont even need reimbursement for fuel, pleasure of the trip would be enough. So keep this in mind. Only caveat is I dont have a trailer since I drove the Sling to get where I needed to go. Maybe somebody close could help with this. I dont offer unless I am serious so expand you search

Never heard of this site. It's now in my favorites.

Be wary of web sites ending in php . Not saying this one is bad, they can be dangerous.

I'll err on the side of caution and take it off my favorites. Although it does have https? It's entirely possible I'm not up to speed on this techno stuff. Thanks for the tip!

wow! Incredible! Humbled by the offer and I will keep it in mind. Thank you! but I sincerely hope when the time comes I’ll be able to find something local. One of these days we need to head east and bump into a few of y’all. That would be fun!
Wishing you and yours a happy new year and I hope everyone in your family is well considering difficult times. -
Sorry for your loss, but what a great community of support.
