Message: [QUOTE="Extended Power, post: 490378, member: 898"] One offer was I take the truck, and a cheque for "FA!" and I was supposed to be happy. My reply was simple: "Not a chance in hell." The cheque didn't even cover the damage that "HAD" to be fixed. So far, the cosmetic damage is $10,000 including fixing the rear brakes. (there are no dents at all...just scratches, except for the inside of the box.) Looks like I will have to look after any drivetrain issues, just to keep the repair estimate in check. After all this, I have learned a few things: Anything over 2-3 years old, you don't get OEM parts...you get "Quality Aftermarket" sh!t from the auto body shop. (insurance company policy) The value of your truck is the same as every other truck of that year, and mileage. (unless you have a 3" binder full of receipts that prove otherwise.) lucky for me...I did. "Full coverage" is not "Full coverage" Depending on how many miles are on the vehicle, dictate how much of the damage was "normal wear and tear", and how much you get to pay for yourself. (betterment) The ONLY way to get your vehicle fixed the way it was before it was stolen, is to b!tch, bellyache, and moan...provide proof that the vehicle is worth what you as it is worth, and back that up by having papers from a reputable automobile appraiser. If your vehicle is older then 3 years, and is relatively "stock", there is no way in hell you should ever think of having anything more then PL, PD, fire, theft on that vehicle. Put the extra money towards a holiday trip, Christmas gifts, whatever...but spending it on insurance is just silly. [/QUOTE]
