Great question!! I'm not sure honestly. I have another car so I'm not in a hurry to run out and buy something so I will do some research and figure something out. I know the new CRV Hybrid is hitting lots, and that's pretty nice, or maybe something more fun like an Audi S4 or the new BMW M2...
Loss of transportation for a year??? I'm just going to go out and by another vehicle with the $48k they just handed me. There are a lot of other options out there other than the Maverick. Might order a 2024, or I might just stick with what I end up buying. I have another car as well so no...
Yup, just waiting for the offer. The first offer was just under $44k and we talked after that and he was able to make some adjustments. Just because sticker price was $32,500 doesn't mean used ones aren't going for between $40-$50k for a Hybrid Lariat. When you can't buy a new one "Fair...
So I was in an accident on Oct 19th when someone lost control on the highway and spun out into my lane and destroyed my Maverick. I finally got the estimate from the body shop which was a whopping $32,306.82. This obviously totaled the truck so now I am going back and forth about "fair market...
I talked to the body shop manager at the Ford dealer I took the truck to and he said they were just finishing up the estimate and it was over 70% value already so it will total. Insurance said anything over 65% would be scrapped so I'm jus waiting for the body shop to finish up the paperwork...
The design is super clean and fits very well. I think the term “flare” may not fit as much as “trim” on these. I don’t see them being any wider, besides the width of the plastic, which I would think is more of a trim. Flare normally means it’s making it noticeably wider which doesn’t look like...
Sorry your glass is half empty about this. There are a lot of products available that you can play your MP3 music files through that would be searchable and would plug into the USB port. Sure it’s not exact what you’ve done for 20 years but if you look outside the box a tiny bit you can solve...
If you have it on your phone you can scroll and search for whatever you want. You could plug your phone in or the wife’s phone in or the kids! Lots of options on listening to music on demand these days. Sure it’s not how you’ve done it for 20 years but there aren’t many things that haven’t...
Thank you!
Still pretty sore, actually went this week to get some chest X-rays to make sure nothing was fractured since the chest pains haven’t gotten any better. Nothing looked off so it must just me some
Serious inflammation.
Still waiting to get the final word that the truck is indeed totaled...
I had it on my truck and it is great for the price. Getting any kind of PPF installed (professionally) costs tons more than this factory option. And yes it just covers the front leading edge of the hood and fenders, the area most likely to get hit with bugs and stones.
UPDATE: So they are taking my Mav to a Ford body shop (Actually the dealer where I bought it) to rip it apart to see what all is damaged that we can't see. The first estimate came back at $18,115 which was only 42% of the value but they need 65% to total it. So they want to get a true estimate...
Good question! I will be supplying a lot of data to back up my numbers so I will love to see what backs up there’s haha. I’ll have two letters from two different Ford used car managers with what they would retail the truck if it was in their lot. So that should help my cause. We will see!!
My insurance is going to take care of me and then go after her insurance for it. Not sure what company she had, she was removed from her can and put in the ambulance and taken away before I was out of the other ambulance. I should hear from the adjuster tomorrow or Tuesday about next steps. And...
That’s one ofthe things I’m really bummed about. I just spent $1000 on paint protection and $200 on tint. I went today and removed basically everything but else I’ve added, including the speakers I just installed this past weekend. Gonna be hard to find another truck to reinstall it all on...
Agreed, it’s a rough time to be a body shop. They have to consider loaner cost more than ever. If they think they can save the car but the person will be in a loaner for 4 months at $50 per day, that can total the car with that added to the repair cost. Sad times in the repair business.
I can’t move very well today but wanted to get to the tow yard and get my things out as soon as I was able to. Plus they had it on the tow truck by the time I got out of the ambulance so I didn’t get to put the windows up!! Got all my things out including the tonneau cover and floor mats. Plus...
