I called Geico, they said nothin changed with my insurance. If total loss happens again, I will get less money. Representative said, "I use salvage cars and have full coverage insurance".
So nothing changes, except I got 70% refund of my car. I will use truck as long as it will move. And I have...
I ordered a modular bedliner using points at Ford dealer. I use points, but if I cancel my order, my points disappear... I can choose something else but I didn't find anything I want to buy except a bedliner...
I did everything except Reg 31. we will see. I am not going to fix this frame bend. If patrol will not check the frame rails, I most likely pass their test.
It is not officially salvaged yet. I need to do it myself. But I will not go to Ford for paid service.
I picked up my car in the morning. will register it tomorrow or Monday.
The next step is insurance. I will ask for a quote from AAA and compare it with my Geico.
I am not happy with the Ford service. Why they told me to come to do recalls if they don't have parts? I am 2 days without my car. Not sure if it will be ready tomorrow. They even din't call me today. This is my first service visit. And I think the last one...
I need Sirius XM as satellite radio. When you are driving from one city to another mobile internet is not stable. But I will not pay 350 for the device. Sirius was only in the Lariat luxury package in 2022.
After all, I need to get the salvage title first. If I can get full coverage without rebuilt title, maybe I don't need it. Tomorrow I will pick up my car from the dealer (they ordered airbags and replace them tomorrow). If it not be too late plan to go to DMV the same day.
Left my car at the Ford dealer today to do recalls, and possibly some software updates concerning the hybrid braking system ( TSB 22-2493, TSB 23-2059, TSB 23-2060), they didn't want to do extra updates and fixes, said technician will check if there is an issue.
P.S. Ordered a drop-in bed...
No. Just need to pass the tests I passed and I am ready to go. They dint make my car a total loss officially, so I still use my previous full coverage insurance.
anyway, I decided not to fix the frame. To pull up the frame heat needs to be applied to the metal. Heat will change the characteristics of the metal. In its current condition frame still do 80% of its work in the accident.
BTW. A guy from the shop where I did alignments said he always has...
not yet. I tried to register my car yesterday, but DMV said the car is not reported as salvage, so they cant register it. If I come to the Ford dealer before the report, I will have free service with recalls.
So far I did for the registration:
- Light and Brakes alignment - $200
- Smog Check -...
Insurance didn't report a total loss for my car to DMV. So I make an appointment with ford to do some recalls and maybe maintenance( As long as car has warranty)
