Message: [QUOTE="Garbage_Mechanic, post: 1333750, member: 1610"] A close friend of mine has a 97 F250 4x4 Powerstroke diesel auto extended cab with 280,000 miles that I help him maintain. About 4am this morning on the way to work he hit a couple of black cows. Took out the grille and headlights. Bent hood, left fender, and left door. Bumper brackets bent a little but I think bumper is OK. Minor dent behind left door. It is driveable, no fluid loss, frame doesn't appear to be bent. This truck is well maintained all stock and kept up well. The only thing it needs is the left seat bottom reupholstered.The paint is very good, no dents. He has full coverage insurance on it with State Farm. The adjuster came out same day, looked at it 15 minutes an pronounced it a total. I expected this to happen, and had advised him not to settle so quickly, to argue the value and the buy back, also not to end up with a salvage title. Waiting to hear insurance co reply. I know you have to stand up to them. Anyone been through this lately or have any advice? I have a parts truck (even the same color) and I think we can have it driveable in a day or two. [/QUOTE]
