Windshield Repair Forum

I lost my little truck early Friday morning. Another vehicle tried to make a quick left turn in front of me at a busy intersection and I was unable to avoid the collision. Just wiped out the whole front end. Initial indications are that it is a total loss, therefore I will probably have to accept fair market value from that person's insurance. I have had this vehicle since it was new so the loss will be especially difficult. I will have to expend quite a bit of funds to replace it. So it is how life goes.

That is not nice, I hope no one was hurt. Make sure you get a fair pay out from your insurers, over here we have to negotiate to get a fair price. Maybe another Toyota would be on the books they sure are reliable.

Screenman...No one was injured, thanks. I have researched the vaue of the vehicle and it ranges from $1100 to $1600 dollars. With only 150,000 miles on it, it had lots of life left. Insurance adjustors are not friendly folks so I anticipate unpleasant negotiations. I have acquired a rental vehicle and my legal advisors indicate that the insurance company will have to reimburse me. That may speed things along a bit.

Thanks for your concerns.

Sorry about your situation there Layne. I hope things get better for you.

Glad to hear no one was hurt Layne. Sorry to hear about your truck though.

Thanks for your concerns folks. As most of you know dealing with insurance companies and their adjusters is a very unpleasant task. Rather than deplete my savings to buy a new vehicle, a local dealer has found me a great deal on a 2001 S-10 Chevy pick up. I plan on closing the deal shortly, as soon as I resolve the '91 Toyota situation. Research through car fax indicates that the S-10 only has one entry on its record. A one owner vehicle that looks good. Can't let this slip by.
