After having an accident with my new 2007. AllState will only fix and not total the Truck. The Total repair cost are $26798.00 to start. They will only total the truck if it gets to $32000.00.

What should I do next with all state? The truck will never be fixed right!!!!!

 

Sell it after you get it back. (trade it in at a nother dealer) it takes a month or so for the info to get thru carfax.( just a thought)

 

Tell them it would probably save them more money if they opted for a heavy duty, after market bumper and a nice, durable flat bed. Might even reduce the potential for personal injury in a future crash that would be costly for them. VAlue would be up if you did want to sell I would think.

 

The initial estimate is just that an estimate, there is always suplimental damages once the truck goes on the frame machine. From the pictures you posted I would be VERY surprised if they could not find 5k in additional damages.

Good luck, Tim

 

once they tear the truck apart they will find more damage that they didnt see when they gave you the first estimate. It happened to me to.

 

Eliminate organized crime [ insurance co.s ] then the cost of everything would come down a lot .
Get multiple estimates .

 

Doesn't look 28k bad but I don't know.

Allstate is terrible like that. My 7.3 powerstorke was stolen a few years ago and stripped down to almost to the frame and they fixed it!!! It was missing for 14 days so I was about to buy a new one (6.0 too!)
So some ways it was a blessing that I didn't wind up with a 6.0 huh.
