Sideswiped a tree... thoughts on damage?

Yeah, after a rainstorm last night washed off all the dust and grime it looks a little better. I'll follow-up with the estimate... and let you know the winner... Price is Right rules apply to this contest!

I'm claiming it. If rates go up I'll either raise deductible and likely change my insurance plan to only cover liability when truck's paid off. But I could easily afford a $500/year rate increase, so not too worried about it.

Thanks for all the input/advice. This is definitely one of the best forums I've ever been on. I check in 10 minutes after posting and already have 5-6 replies. Love it!

 

I'm going with $7,400.

 

Im in, $6969

 

94.2% of the vehicles I have owned would have been well over totalled with these estimates. 2/35

 

Two year old truck? Looks totaled to me!

It would probably be best to buy a new one and part that one out!

 

Park it in the woods. Report it stolen.

 

$6995.42

 

I'm going with $4500.01

 

$6,969.69

Now go get a quote so we know who won.

 

I’m on it. Filing a claim tomorrow so hopefully I’ll have something in a few days.

These high estimates are scaring me. Remember in Price is Right if you go over the cost you lose!

Are we going off insurance estimate?

 

Of course, that's what the shop will expect to be paid if it doesn't go over and they have to call to get approval for the extra damage that may be found.

 

sound like the old “Price is Right” with Bill Cullen

 

$1 lol

 

I can hear the ass chewing you got when you got home from here.

 

$6300

Also, just find the best local PDR guy and tell him to work his magic....
Also tell him to bring a tail light.

 

Full coverage

Light it on fire

Push it off a cliff

I’ve never done this

 

Old Mine shafts are good too.

 

The thought did cross my mind to fix it and trade it in for the long bed I should've gotten in the first place. Blue book was $30k before the damage. Could've probably just tacked on one more year of payments.

 

I think damage to the tree was minimun. Should be GTG!

 

LMAO! I got fucking reamed when I got home man. My wife had just gotten home from visiting her grandma. Hadn't seen her for a week when I pulled up. I had delusions of a nice homecoming and heading straight to the bedroom but the truck put a damper on that fast!
