KJT13 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hey Eddie, I never noticed that your truck was recovered. The pics were horrible. Could have been worse, but that's what makes them horrible. I'm like everyone else, I would rather the truck never show up again than look at it like that. I guess its a good thing they totalled it. Now you can move on. Just don't stray too far from the bowtie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddieo818 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Update: insurance gave me the option to buy it back for 8600, what do you guys think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkt71 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Update: insurance gave me the option to buy it back for 8600, what do you guys think?? Let me get this straight. You own a new 07 Escalade right? Why do you car anymore about this thing.. the truck is like Jenna Jameson now... its been torn up, used, abused, and totaled out... only someone like Tito Ortiz would hit it and drive it again. Save your money and fix up that Escalade of yours and forget about the truck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save your money and fix up that Escalade of yours and forget about the truck... yes, and you do have a point but if you really think about it this truck is still in great condition the engine only has 32k on it in time if i invest $5000, it will be like having a brand new truck with no payment! i mean hey not everything that was stolen is a neccessty to drive the truck. i have the original stocks at home just throw them on and slowly piece the interior together and i have myself a keeper.

punkt71 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 lol Imagine this scenario: 1) You have a couple 'buddies' who steal the truck from a location you tell them you will be at.. maybe a place known to have car thefts 2) Those 'buddies' strip the truck, just enough to ensure the insurance company totals the truck out.. keeping those pieces at a safe location 3) Place the truck in a location that would be easily found, and recovered 4) Insurance company totals truck out, pays the outstanding loan off (including gap coverage if vehicle is upside down) 5) Insurance co. offers to let you buy truck back at a reduced price.. ie $8500 6) Buy truck back, and 'buddies' use parts stripped from truck and reassemble truck with those parts BAM. You now have a paid off truck... you turned your upside down loan into a truck that you in a way 'refinanced' for $8500 .... and can sell for $20K or more now. Sounds like some Mafia shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it would have a theft-recovery title. Figure you pay $8600 for the truck, another $5000 after that then you've got ballpark $14K in the rig and question is would its KBB value be that good... I would only do it if you are either looking for a nice DD to keep the miles off your Escalade or are wanting to make a no-holds complete custom show truck. My $0.02. Mr. P.

Sounds like some Mafia shit i will never be able to sell for 20k, i dont think the tittle would be theft recovery i think it will be salvaged. wow that sounds like a pretty good idea!

Mr. P. yes mr.p that is more like what im thinkin of keepin it as a daily driver or just a truck to have forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 yes mr.p that is more like what im thinkin of keepin it as a daily driver or just a truck to have forever Then look at it this way - you are considering the purchase of a $14000 truck for use as a DD; being totally objective, is there a better vehicle you could buy for the same $14000??? If it's worth it to you then go ahead and buy back the SSS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
