Insurance Adjuster again

[nicadimus@hotmail.com (Elijah R)]

its my expereince with ins companys that if they total the vehicle, the buy 
back is 10% of the Settlement. Example; I had a 82 Dodge Truck (paid $700) 
that was totaled by the ins in a wreck (others drivers fault), the ins 
totaled it for $2000.00 (wohoo) and I bought my truck back for $200.00. Out 
of several different wrecks, the ins company were standard at 10% salvage. 
Hope this gives you a lil help with what lays ahead with the adjusters.
