Visited a tire shop today to check wheel alignments. Weels are fine, but after I told them I had an accident they noticed the bed shifted a very little to the right. I think I can live with it, I didn't notice it myself.
they name all cars XL. When I left my car at the body shop, they count it also as XL, but I have larial. They first give me proposals for XL, After my correction, they gave me proposals for LAriat, a couple thousand more..
The body on the frame truck is much easy to fix. I posted part of the manual, on how to replace the maverick frame rail on the first page. This job needs a lot of disassembly and assembly for Maverick...
opponents car insurance is Statefarm. Usually, we have total loss if the repair costs more than 75% of the car itself. You are lucky with your insurance.
Maybe I did it wrong, but I use a lawyer for this accident. Everything was paid for by another car insurance. Maybe another Maverick owner read this thread and will do a better decision in the same situation.
My truck was fully paid. If I decide to cell my truck for parts, I may have more money than current cost. (12k). But I agree, insurance will never do something for free
If salvage - not. Car is not covered now. Rebuilt title - yes, but it will not be another 40k. My car cost now around 12k. I am still waiting for docs and salvage title.
