its my expereince with ins companys that if they total the vehicle, the b=
uy =20
back is 10% of the Settlement. Example; I had a 82 Dodge Truck (paid $700=
) =20
that was totaled by the ins in a wreck (others drivers fault), the ins =20
totaled it for $2000.00 (wohoo) and I bought my truck back for $200.00. O=
ut =20
of several different wrecks, the ins company were standard at 10% salvage=
. =20
Hope this gives you a lil help with what lays ahead with the adjusters.
