Insurance value for total loss

[tysamigo]

so they fixed everything except the abs, gave you a check for $10k, and let you buy it back? awesome! how much did they let you buy it back for if you dont mind me asking?

I bought it back for the low end value of around $7k, used the difference of about $3k to replace the motor

Ok, the final value AAA said was right at 7500. would cost me $1600 to get it back and $1800 to get it fixed cosmetically and they provide a renta for one week. 130k miles normal condition. said they found several for the price around $6500, one in dallas, colorado, and maryland. I told them bs, but is this what i should settle for??? I gave them the whole foxfire, cf scoop, and running boards speech and they said it was merely an emotional value im putting on it.

Are the ones they found available foxfire?

The CF insert & the running boards are aftermarket add ons that they must pay you for (above the list price for the basic vehicle) if they are going to total it.

Sounds like it's time to find an attorney.

Go find vt_maverick's thread on when his was totalled, print it out & take it with you to your attorney (but don't show it to their adjuster unless your attorney tells you to).

1) Here's a REALLY thorough thread that can give you some tips on what you're going through. vt_maverick got totalled by a drunk driver last October. He details how he worked with his insurer to appropriately value his truck's value as his WAS actually totalled, but there's
also some discussions from others about how to try to prevent your insurer from declaring it totalled.

Well you said the KBB value was around $6k and they're offering you $5900 to keep the VX. My opinion is fix the VX and pocket $4100.

It's a bummer you lost the clean title but doesn't seem like a bad deal considering the circumstances.
