it was a pretty decent drop. I’m not sure. My wife is suggesting always disabling the airbags when they aren’t in the vehicle🤔

The hard part! Just let me enjoy the moment! 😂 Now I have time to come to those terms on my own time. That’s where I was on my 60 after owning it for 18 years. It sat parked and didn’t get the love it deserved. Moving up to the 100 made sense with a young family and slightly nervous wife...

Update Major: NOT totaled Evidently my adjuster is a fan. He’s called back 3 times since this went down. Each time with a higher settlement amount. I haven’t been trying to negotiate. I’ve just laid out the facts. Today he called and stated he’s spent hours shopping for these. He sent a few...

Technically, I’ve just purchased an affordable, hopefully reliable option for now. I haven’t given insurance an answer yet. Decided either way, this gives me a ride for now so I’m not rushed to find a replacement.

thanks for the input everyone. update: After some shopping, I found it a lot easier to find a commuter for 9K and keep my truck. I had planned on retiring the 06 as a DD in the next year and Converting it to a camper of sorts. My wife has driven MDX’s for the last 12 years and we’ve been...

I’m also going to go look at this. JUST to see how bad it is. Check out a 2003 Lexus LX 470 470 4WD - $10,995 on CarGurus at CarGurus - 2003 Lexus LX 470 470 4WD - $10,995

The value before the accident? Well I think the market values right now are crazy. I paid 15K for this 4 years ago with 100K miles bone stock. Flew to West Tx to get it. Today, based on the market I would have listed it for 18K. So I was pleased with the payout. I’m looking at an 06 LX...

You make a good point. I would rather keep my truck forever and not worry about the carfax or resale value. I suspected it would be closer to 7K for repairs and it would be better than it was before. I’ve never been in this situation. In hindsight, I would have gotten a quote first...

Yes, there are. But I need a daily driver and insurance won’t fully cover a salvage or rebuilt title. And without functional side curtain bags the whole dash bag system is out of play. My insurance guys a cruiser head and he said fix it on the cheap and it will SELL. He said that’s likely...

They offered me $18.5K to take it. The buyback is 9K. I’m waiting to hear how much rebuilding the airbag system will cost. My friend who owns the body shop says it’s a great alternative which he did for his own vehicle but would never offer to the general public. There’s a place in Atlanta...

I’m leaning toward replacement since I need full coverage for my daily driver for the vehicle reimbursement. now if I can swap out the suspension and tires before I give it up...

Great question... yes it was performed about 3 months ago along with the alternator.
