Someone Bought My Totaled Truck

I looked up my old vin and found someone bought my truck I wrecked many months ago. It may sound dumb, but I'm happy someone is probably getting some good parts off of it. Nothing popped up about it being fixed and flipped though.

 

Was the frame damaged? What was the repair quote?

 

I'm not sure. It looked like a lot of the damage was above the frame. They gave me $20k and called it a day.

 

7200$! I love these trucks!

 

So they gave you 20k for a truck wasn’t totaled?

 

Steering wheel airbag went off, good amount of body damage, plus mechanical components. It did still run though!

 

I thought I saw something saying the average wrecked/similar condition taco goes for 4k or less.

 

mmmmm 20k nice down payment on a 3rd gen!

 

Got a V6 Charger instead. Needed a nice looking 4 door commuter. I needed a car quick and couldn't find a 4WD/6MT/DC 3rd gen close to me.
My wife likes it a lot, so I may give her the charger and sell her car and put it towards a 1st/2nd gen.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t part it out; rebuild instead..

 

$7200 for a totaled truck. These trucks certainly hold their value.

 

Wow, $7200!!! That’s insane....my truck must be worth a bazillion dollars then

 

Barring frame damage we don't see in the photos, I'd bet a good steak dinner that truck has been repaired and is on the road with a salvage title.

It doesn't have to be a 'flip'. The buyer could have repaired it and be driving it themselves. Right @koditten?

 

Can sombody run the Carfax on it?

 

Yep, Bill is right. That truck is back on the road.

I don't know where the average price of 4K comes from, but you won't be getting rebuilder for that price.

 

May I ask, what type/who insurance did you have that gave you 20k?

 

AAA full coverage

 

I'm glad someone is taking care of it!

 

Brain fart. I think I've been watching too many copart repair/flip videos and figured that's all people go to auctions for.
