Honestly, I could barely tell your were mad on here - pissed off in your world is on a totally different scale. I just know how much I wanted to smack the lady that tried to tell me 8runner was worth $3100 and I know how much more of your own sweat you have put into this.
If you need help or want to bounce your story off me before seeing the insurance guy, just give me a call.
Sorry to hear that Fred. Just stay positive and stick to your guns as you have and it'll all turn out ok. State Farm is one of the best insurance agency's but some of their agents can be hard headed. It will all turn out well in the end, just keep doing what you are doing so they see what's up with the investments in your camaro.
Had a nice chat with the agent last night. After talking to him in person, there seems to be a ray of hope that he is trying to help me. He was dumbfounded at the archive of receipts. He said, "Holy **** man, that's a lot of reciepts. I can't believe you have your car this well documented." I responded by saying, "I have a file like this for every one of my cars." The look on his face was one of, "please, don't have a claim in any other vehicle you own." heh. Still haven't heard anything from him today. I'll probably call him in a few minutes to see if he got anything done today. Probably not, but here is to hoping.
update?
Still wrecked.
definitely not christine then
I settled with State Farm this week. Here's the short version.
Car was totalled with $5400 worth of damage.
Car was valued at something low like $6888, then after my deductable, then reimbursement for tax, title, registration, it was basically a wash putting the amount at $6868.00. They offered for me to buy back the car for $250 and somehow are doing this without issuing a salvage title.
So, I verified with them that it will indeed have a clear title, and if I decide to put it back together, they will also allow me to reinstate coverage on it. So to recap, I'm getting the car back with a clear title, and a check for $6618.13, when it will only take $5400 to put it back together. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I can live with that.
Now comes the hard part. Part of me wants to put the car back together and keep it. Another part of me wouldn't mind parting it out and moving on, while yet another part of me wants to part it out, then sell the tahoe, and then replace both of them with something like a Vette or something like this: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/900489531.html
I really don't know what to do, but I don't have to rush the decision turns out. I mean, it's not like it's my daily driver and I'm without a car. It's just sitting in the garage waiting for me to decide its fate. Decision time...I always hate that time.
great! you wish they would have put a savage title on it doesn't it. would make the decision a lot easier...
put 6g's into lt1 from camaro, 600 into crappy beater, combine the two, hold on for dear life.
sounds like a pretty good outcome! Seems like you could get pretty deep into the impala with that kinda bread. Or a down payment on a house if you're debt-free...
Butt out with your logic you hippy! Yeah, I had thought about putting a down payment on a house....seems like the responsible thing to do at this point in my life.
screw a house. youve got the rest of your life to do that. what you dont have the rest of your life to do is live with your big brother that sleeps cuddled up next to your c7 in the garage.
You have a pretty sweet deal going on right now though...owning a home isn't always the right move.
Fred talks about a vette the way other people talk about owning a house or whatever. It's his American dream. I told him to buy it, live it up for a year or two and then if he needs skrilla to buy a house he can sell it. The stock market sucks anyway, might as well invest in something cool while you are young enough to enjoy it. When you are 40, with a wife and a couple of kids what's the point of having a vette? I also like your idea Gerald, beater with an ungodly turbo'ed motor and a jungle gym of cage. Could have a lot of fun with that...
