I wouldn't bother with that truck, its priced pretty high for the Toronto area even if it was in mint condition...just to give you an example i bought my 07 sport in ottawa almost 2 years ago with the same options as that with 40000kms for 15k...I figure i would be lucky to get 12k for my truck now and its mint and never been crashed.

with a $9000 dollar claim there has to be signs that the truck has been repaired and will never be as good as a virgin non-accidented truck. Keep looking you will find a better deal than that.

My wife just got into an accident with her ford fusion (rear-ended). The only thing it did to her car was scratch the bumper and flake the paint of, and the bumper is plastic. The estimate to get that fixed was between $700-$832 American. Just to fix the rear bumper with NO frame damage. I would steer clear of it and just look for a different truck. If you're patient then you will find the right one.

I would not say that is a good deal, $14k for a 3.7L 2WD is pretty high without a bad history. I wouldn't pay more than $8 for it.

Just my input, it doesnt take much to get the price of body repairs up. The total bill for the below damage was 5k. All oem parts.

It was an F150. It didn't fare to well... I wish I would have snapped a shot, but I was slightly tweaked beings the truck wasn't quite a full yr old.
