Considering trading in my Taco.

Some vehicles do have bad luck. My buds got broken into 3 times and in 2 accidents within a year. Traded it in and new vehicle hasn't been broken into or in a single accident.

 

Ha,ha...was thinking the same thing myself. Eliminate the threat before impact!

 

Where do you live?!? I'm staying away.

At this point you're kind of stuck with it. You'll lose your rear end on a trade. Motor should still be good. Drive it into the ground. Unless you have an endless supply of $, then I would say trade that pig in on a 2020!

 

Could be the color drawing moths to the flame so-to-speak. New truck, new color is the solution ...

 

As long as the frame is straight and everything else checks out iwould replace the bed and keep it. The accidents can't help the trade in value.

 

Get a new bed. Keep it. Keep on trucking!

 

Did you buy it on a Tuesday? That’s some very bad luck

 

Buy another truck so it can happen to that? Might as well keep that truck now until it’s gets totaled.

 

Get the insurance carrier to write the estimate and get their check. Then, trade-in the truck. At that point..make a diminution of value claim with that same insurance company! You can then prove how much money you lost in the value of the truck due to the loss. Then, the insurance carrier cannot dispute the loss in value because it can be documented. That's how I would roll on this.

 

Lol. No I've had since new. Place an order for it on July of 2015 and it arrived at the dealership in November. This November makes 4 yrs since I've had it.

 

And thats why you dont park it on the street.

 

Keep It !! The Worst Has To Be Over !!

 

WTF do the Freemasons have to do with this shit lol


OP...I had three similar claims on my Tundra within a year of buying it brand new. Hell...It was one month old when I got caught in baseball hail and had a 6k insurance claim. They even cut the roof off and replaced it. Two more claims within a year.

I've had it 7 years now, and no claims since. Been a fantastic truck.

 

Definitely. I parked my gen 1 one time on the street because , we were having work done on the house so driveway had to be clear. Wouldn’t you know I got side swiped by a drunk coming home at 3:00am.

 

i live at the end of a culda sac and street parking is still a last resort.

 

Good advice. Unfortunately all of the other accidents will be reflected on the title record as well unless you go back on each and try to claim diminished value but I think that ship has sailed. You will take a hit on trade in. But try it out and see what they will cough up.

 

I hate to see a nice truck wadded up like that, trade up and start fresh...and leave all that bad luck in the past!

 

Lmao. I was thinking the same thing about that Freemasons comment.
Well if I decide to keep it, I hope the same happens to me.
