First off here's what I got:
1997 lx450 132,000 miles.
ARB which bumper
850/860 OME lift
35"BFG AT
Here's the deal. My wife got hit in the DS rear axle. (everyone's fine). Body damage to the rear DS door. Some intrusion into the cabin so the body as well as the door will need to be pulled out. Also the rear DS tire is sitting at a slight angle so there has at least been some damage to the hub.
The adjuster just left and said I have $2800 worth of body damage not counting the hub. He said I'm close to reaching totaling damage and that if they total it and I buy it back I run the risk off ending up with less cash value than that but if the hub isn't that bad then I could end up more. You can see the conundrum I'm in.
My LX came from Chicago and the undercarriage is ate up with rust. I really want to find another 80 so I'm leaning toward taking the cash, getting another one and parting (or selling outright) my LX.
Please give me your thoughts so I can come out if this with the best possible outcome.
Thanks sooooo much in advance.
