Well is it totaled??

[Funfishhunter]

Glad you are ok. Send it to another country and it will be on the road in a few days.

They all seem to come through Brownsville going down south.

Hope he goes to jail.

On Dec 23rd my 2022 Hybrid was hit by an (1) unlicensed driver (2) uninsured vehicle (3) unregistered vehicle (4) left scene of accident. NOT arrested and found out yesterday was charged with Careless and Imprudent instead of "leaving scene of accident". I had followed the car for 20 minutes while wife on phone to State Highway Patrol dispatcher giving current location and finally pulled her over. Over $7K damage so if was charged with leaving the scene it would be a felony, being charged with C&I not a felony. If driver pleads guilty then there is no restitution required by State, if doesn't plead guilty and is found guilty then complete restitution will be required by State.

I would assume you can still sue in civil court. Hopefully you have good ins and they will do that for you.

You are correct. Driver (20 yrs old) and mother (owner of car) both don't have anything but a history of tickets that have been changed to "muffler" violations. My best hope is for traffic Court to make them pay restitution to State Farm which will take years most likely. I'll get my deductible back that way ($500). State Farm was great, truck repair was covered by my "uninsured motorist" coverage so not a charged accident to me. If no restitution in traffic Court I will sue both just for the fun with little hope of getting anything.

@Drkuhar I'm sorry this happened to you and unfortunately I think it will be totaled.

I don't think you'll have to wait another year for a Hybrid XLT.

Heck, check out available Hybrid XLT inventory at Long McArthur
I'm pretty sure they'll cover a portion of shipping. @fordvideoguy or @Sarah Davis can you verify that?

Otherwise check with @Granger Ford to see if they have any allocations left for their $1K under MSRP offer.

WE offer up to $1000 of free shipping or up to $1000 of travel expenses reimbursed, if you finance the vehicle with us. we have over 40 Hybrid Mavericks currently available on our lot!

Truck got hit today by person who ran red light. Wiring was smoking, front axle broke, spindle broke, fender door and hood. And who knows what else.
Those that have had wrecks, do you think its totalled

It doesn't look all that bad, but if there is any frame damage? See my post "Total Loss" from a couple weeks ago. Drove it for 2 weeks, but frame damage doomed it. These unibody pickups
are pretty much un repairable. Sorry you lost your pickup. There are thousands already in wrecking yard across the country. Best of Luck

Booyah
Glad your ok, but the hit is a hard one.

Bodyshop contacted me and said it looks worse than it is and that im far from totaled. The insurance adjuster is supposed to come do their estimate at the end of the week and match it up with the bodyshops

 

[Ozarkbeard]

Yep. That's the down side of unibody construction.

Upside is, you're less likely to be seriously injured. I'd prefer this any day.

The Bodyshop has a glaring Conflict Of Interest here. If you agree to let insurance pay the bodyshop, he's got a lot of revenue and you are essentially on the hook, have to wait for as long as the Bodyshop takes. You want to explain to the insurance company that the truck is totaled, plus there is a parts backlog. Tell them to give you a letter which guarantees a date certain for your vehicle, and their guarantee against in future problems. Obviously they won't. If you make noise, they might total it, especially if they are on the fence.

What if you remove the plates and return them to DMV?

And......another reason insurance is high. Not hard to total a Maverick. A sad truth.

I was surprised when my insurance went down when I bought the Maverick. I had a Toyota Corolla Cross before.

It looks like the base of the A pillar is wrinkled. . . . it's toast.

 

[Drkuhar]

Well according to insurance its not totalled. 12,700 is the estimate and the shop is ordering parts, said they would have me a time-frame at the end of next week. I have mixed feelings on whether it was totalled or repaired. The shop is certified in tesla and rivian electric repairs so i hope they can handle a maverick

Looks just like mine did after the accident. Totaled.

 

[Drkuhar]

Well body shop called and after teardown it is probably totalled. They said the insurance Company has to come next week and make a final call but they found over 8000.00 in supplemental repairs . At this point i think its probably better to not get hopes up and let it go.

The body shop guy was talking about me coming getting my bed cover, plates , bed mat etc so it doesnt sound good

On a side note, i had the deep sleep issue a couple of times, i liked the gas mileage but i dont know if i will get another hybrid.
