If you know they are going to total it & you know you want to buy it back, this day & time your are better off not going into detail with what you have in the car. Am older car like you have now.

insurance companies are hurting, if they realize you have a vested interest in the vehicle, they will jack up the by-back cost. Plus The price of metal is still pretty high, so your Avg Volvo is worth around 300 buxs at the avg scrap yard... so your by back price will be what they can get out of it as it stands... The good old days of buying back a wreck for a bill, are over with for a long time...

Just my opinion...
