SilveradoEsEs Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Well, its official. By no choice of my own, I am no longer a Silverado SS owner and cannot stand the thought that my baby was violated in such a manner. She has been totally stripped. The people that reported the truck to the police couldn't even identify what type of vehicle was left from the parts. It was found in the Castle Hills development area in North Dallas.

SilveradoEsEs Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I wanna take the time to thank all of the people of this forum for all of the fun and information that I've gleaned from my years of membership/ownership. You are a dedicated lot. I've learrned a lot from your posts and although I'm not much of a poster myself and a lot of what I was able to do to my own personal truck was dictated by my limited budget, I was able to live vicariously through a lot of you guys and your endless builds and creativity. I experienced elation for those who have built their trucks to the hilt. You guys in the 10 sec club, I proudly bragged about to my friends as if it were a family member graduating from college with a PhD (luckily I have friends who are car junkies like me). I have never enjoyed any one vehicle as much as I have enjoyed this one. She will be missed and I'm sorry I won't be able to achieve all of the things with her that I had envisioned. The future was looking brighter in that I was just before relegating the SS to a second vehicle that was going to allow me to start toying with her. Thanks for the years and thanks for the shared passion. I'm over, but I'm not out!

SilveradoEsEs Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 get ur payoff $$ and come back stronger man, thats what I did, now I have exceeded my previous truck. Don't let them get you. How does insurance arrive at a pay-off amount? I see where trucks are going from anywhere between $13k and $21k on cars.com. The KBB value for mine goes from $15385-$18335 depending on fair to excellent rating and for equipment and mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 They take vehicles like yours(mileage,options,etc.) in close proximity to your area and they get an average price based on what those sold for. Or so im told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Yes as stated above ins. co's go by "fair market value" based on trucks being sold in your area at the time of payoff. Show any receipts you saved, say you had a tool box in back, CD's, Ipod, sunglasses, laptop, things inside your truck they might also cover. Milk it baby, milk it. Any receipts for recent maint., recent new tires, etc. I got 24K for my SS and paid 18K for it. After payoff I made 8K cuz I only owed 16K, used that as down and mods for VHO. I got paid for a tool box, sales tax, my mods., sunglasses, etc.... Come out of this on top man. Also, look for local CraigsList ads in a few days, now or a week for your parts. Then send the link to your ins. adjuster and local PD that took report. Maybe the banditos can be caught. I found my rear bumper on CL and even called the guy. Was sure it was mine cuz I was missing the plastic keyhole cover for spare and had a distinct paint touchup on it.

f1ss Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Sorry to hear about the ending. Dont forget though these are some of the best times yet to purchase a low milage SS, or an SS at all. Go to a dealer tell them your story, who knows might get a special lil discount for being loyal. From bad comes good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ss Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 -Number 1, build yoursellf a garage -Number 2, You need some dogs. Pitbulls and/or Rottwiellers (both muscle dogs) and a beagle (security to hear anything abnormal) trained to attack. The local PD over here are scared of my beagle, its pathetic but funny to see a them cower to a 24lb dog Nothing better than seeing a crook taken down by the neck by a 150-175lb rotty. -Number 3, night vision cameras Do some measure of security, you know these guys will be coming back for another round. Hire someone to hide on your property and take notes on who drives by, take ID car tags, just some Magnum PI stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsman Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 May I suggest a hidden switch that disables the ignition system? Something like a battery disconnect or ? I take the fuse out of my ignition switch when I'm not comfortable with the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
