Default Isurance co. may total truck

I talked to my insurance co. today and they said that most likely they will scrap the truck, my body shop guy (whom I've known for twenty years) said that it would cost the same to fix it as it would be to buy another one. state farm said that they would look at market value and give me that. Plus tax,lic.,and he said that the 1,000. dollar extended warrenty that I had purchased is transferable. or, I can cash out the warranty less the three weeks I've owned it. So, I have 19 - 20 thousand to spend on a different ram, what do you recomend? If I had to I can throw in a couple more but I hate to buy new, but not out of the question. (Last truck was 2004 QC SLT .Hemi 2wd cloth seats 20" 29,000 miles).

The real question is if the 19-20K that they give you enough to pay off your truck right now. If so, I say go for another 04-05 model and have some money left over for what ever else it is you want.

My wife paid cash for it. She has a great job in the bio tech industry, I'm spoiled, If I want something, It's in the driveway, thats why I buy used vehicles, I feel a little guilty sometimes. (sometimes).

Ooooooooh, money is no object. Hmmmm, Power Wagon or the 4X4 Mega Cab but PLEASE put some 33's to 35's on it and get those dang stock pizza cutters off.

Or hold out for the Rampage. I hope it goes to production.
