My Truck
 

is still in the shop 5 weeks later..(it was crashed the day after hurricane Charley)

I just got a call from the insurance man saying he thinks it will be done end of next week.. He added they ran into more damage and the cost of repairs went up $2.5k bringing it to a total of about $10k that they have to pay...
good thing it's not me paying

can you believe this is $10k in damage?

The tire tells it all. The way its buckled inwards...mucho underbody damage. I wouldn't think $10k worth but I'm not a mechanic.

well the tire looks worse than it was, mostly bent a-arms and suspension and so on, but the frame was ok.. It's the cab which is buckeled up pretty good .. Here it is from another angle

Is the frame damaged?

10K? damn, most of it would be labor though.

Frame bent = $$$$'s
Axel bent = $$$$'s

The door was probably only $800 of that repair...

your looking at replacing pillars plus unibody damage. that shit has to be put back within millimeters of factory specs.. so 10k is about right.

must be thankful you'll not gonna shoulder the expenses

Shitty..I usually wind up selling them after they are fixed if they are damaged that bad..:(

yeah! you have to be thankful for not shouldering the expenses,coz if you do it's a real pain in the ass! ayt?!:disgust

I can see 10k in that. I hit a deer a few years ago in a 96 dodge ram. Cost about 4k to get it fixed and it never cracked the windshield. Got the bumper. right fender,and various items up front

I had my Avalanche in an accident last year and the damages went into the 15K range....Hell... It looked less damaged than yours! Good luck with it :)

damn, Charley got you man

I hate to say this, but I would look into getting rid of it.

Bent farme= No Good

Crockett could you please icq me. I've got a couple questions about Daytona. Thanks! :)

who makes a unibody truck?

please tell, so i never buy such a terribly engineered vehicle

if it's that bad, it will really cost a lot..

Sorry for your loss.

Someone's mad...


The truck went on to live again btw.. $10k was not even enough.. the dumb fuck insurance ended up paying $16k in all.

They should of totaled it but didnt, I drove it several more years and sold it for something like $9k if I recall..

Toyota = good investment not so good for insurance companies though... lol

I had no idea you had a truck or that it had problems. Post a picture of the truck and tell me what happened.

This topic is 10 years old.. I had a 03 Tacoma in 04 that got T-Boned the day after a hurricane. It was 1 of the 4 door ones and a big ass 1979 Ford van slammed right into the side of the cab. I was kinda amazed the insurance company repaired it TBH.. With that said I never had a single problem with the truck the entire time I owned it. Think the only thing I ever had to fix was replaced a battery and did the front brakes.
