Answer
Dear Questioner,

Whether you collect from the insurer or the driver of the other car, the most they owe is the "market value" of your car, not your loan balance. So if you got a 6 year loan on your car so you could have low monthly payments, you probably owe a lot more than its worth. You should not finance a car for over 3 or 4 years.
