So I finally heard from insurance and, other than the ridiculous amount of time this has taken, from a payout perspective it’s working out pretty well. They gave me credit for my mods on the value but calculated the salvage value without the mods. With me retaining the wreck, insurance has paid about $37K (19K salvage).
After a lot of internal struggle making a decision on what replacement 200 to get (chronicled here). I went with a very clean 2015 with 170K miles for $31K. I’ll have to pay about $3K in sales tax so $34K total. I’ll be able to pull all my stuff off the wreck and transfer over to the new rig then send the wreck to Copart and likely get something like $19K. A lot of work to do but I’ll end up with new stock 200 and over $20K cash which will allow me to accelerate the rebuild process by not having to do it all myself.
While I wish I had never wrecked my 200 in the first pace I feel like I have won the “insurance and find a good price on a 200” lottery.
Planning the rebuild now. More on that to follow as it materializes. While a lot of work is ahead I’m pretty stoked. Just call me Oscar: “We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.”
