My condoleances, a sad end to such a pretty truck.

do I really want another 30+ year old 4x4 basket case? :cripes:

Do you really need to ask yourself that question?

Sorry man, lovely way for a good truck to go out.

Don't take their first offer!

Use the payout to buy that Eagle.

Honestly, with how lovely this all was, it's a miracle no one was hurt. Woulda been a completely different story if you had been behind the wheel. Hope that idiot loses his license.

Funnily enough I usually park around the other side of the house, was only out front because I had a load of canning jars to bring inside on Friday.

If my truck hadn't been there he would have jumped the curb and wiped out the front of my neighbors house, who are in their 90's, so I really took one for the team here. :stare:

I guess I could afford an Eagle with what ICBC will pay me, but do I really want another 30+ year old 4x4 basket case? :cripes:

Do it DOOO IT! I still have lots of eagle parts around.

One last swan song for this. Spent a month going back and forth with my insurer, which went as follows:

quote:

Them: We'll give you $1900. Also we don't know who is at fault yet so we're holding the $300 deductible until we do.

Me: That's bullshit, try again.

Them: We'll give you $2200, it's very hard to find examples of your vehicle so we're valuating it based on a Ford rangers market value.

Me: My truck is NOT a Ford ranger, the closest example is a Toyota Tacoma. Furthermore. Details the rarity of shitbox 4x4 transmission and such. Sends many craigslist postings worth over $5000.

Them: We'll give you $2400. We can't value it based on a Tacoma, only the exact same vehicle.

Me: You yourself admitted you were valuing it on craigslist postings for Ford Rangers! At this stage it is worth my time to spend $200 taking you to court, which I will win being as I am not at fault in this accident, and you will then have to pay my legal fees as well as your own lawyers, which will cost more than just giving me the fair market value of my truck.

Them: We're issuing you a check for $4332.
Me: loving Finally.


So in the end I turned a $1000 profit on the thing, after tires and repairs are taken into account. Which is way more than I could ever have sold it for, with a dying transmission and dead speedometer. :dance:

:rip: badass green truck!
