im going to say that most of that looks like its cosmetic (minus the hood, fender, bumper, and missing mirror) it looks like the paint job got really ****ed up but i would guess that the body is fine, if they total it definetly buy it back and build it up,


p.s. thos pics made me cry

They will only total it if the visible damages exceed say 50% of teh nada value. the percentage varies from insurance company to insurance company. once damages exceed their percentage the vehicle is declared a "constructive total" at that point they cut you a check less the deductible and then you have the opportunity to buy it back as salvage.

I have been an insurance agent for 20 so I've been down this path before.

if its NADA then my truck is worth 9k, Kelly its worth 8k, so half of 9 would be 4.5k and im pretty sure thats cutting it close to the repair dmg, i was looking at parts, to replace the front end cosmetic parts, as in bumper, grill, hood, fenders, flares, side mirror it came out to less then 1.2k adding the radiater, supports, ele fan, ect.. add on another 500 or so, paint it what is going to kill me... 2k maybe for paint? Maybe more.. thats close to 3.7k + labor to install = over 4.5k... AND THATS WHY my truck is sitting at a friends shop. I have a friend that will get the parts and install them for no labor charge, so they can quote me a LOWER price so the insurance wont total it.. GOD i hope this works.
