Well, it remains to be seen if they fix the truck or not. Talked to the "claims counselor" and he said a truck that old may be deemed a total loss. Cost of repair vs. wholesale value. I told him if they total it, they will be paying for the damage AND I will be keeping the truck... no negotiation on that. I looked up the parts that it will take to put it back to what it was. That comes to right at $2000.00. Add the labor to replace the parts along with the labor, paint and materials for the lower R.H. bed corner and that will push it past wholesale value, which KBB states is $2619.00. My thoughts are: I had a nice truck that I was happy driving. Their driver took that away. If I have to replace that truck with a comparable vehicle, it will cost $9000 or more... IF I can find one.
