they pay you the estimate before the damage. Eeither way i will get another ranger as i didnt spend all summer working on these sweet *** door panels for nothing.

So your car gets damaged, and as a result, the value of the vehicle drops. They then pay you the new, lower value of the car?
So basically, if you don't plan on fixing the car yourself after your car is totalled you get shafted out of a boatload of money? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

They usually give you book value. In this case, around $1k.

Cab corners can be a royal pain in the *** to fix, unless you plan to just fill it with bondo.

depending on the odometer reading, it should book for more than $1000

You have full coverage on a 93 Ranger?

Why would he need full coverage on it?

It wasnt his fault so he wont have to pay for anything.

i got hit by a **** 15 year old a few months back and havent heard anything from anyone about anything concerning my car... the accident was ALL her fault and no actions have been taken so i think ima have to take out a small court claim or something along the lines to get my monies. goin a whimpy 35 mph i got around 2k of damage to the side of my car. went down both doors and in front of my back wheel before she stopped hitting me. =[ it sucks... so ima try to take her to court and get some monies and do the work myself and use the extra for some rims or something =D. but sucks to hear man... some non drivin mofos out there.

yea my family has a few people in the auto body business so im not really worried about it too much. and the first thing i thought when she hit me was "fvck!!!!there went my rim" but then got out and seen the actual damage.

and yea the bed looks like a easy fix but the corner of the cab has me worried.....creased the metal pretty good in the corner.

But something happened to my AQ 90x4 in the wreck. worked fine when it happened but when it happened it stalled my truck so it cut off. when i turned the truck back on to move it when the cop told me so i immediately turned the HU off before it cut on. Well after work last night the amp wouldnt even come on....no power light or protect light. Checked out all the wires this morning and seen nothing wrong so im guessin it jared my amp enough to break something internally.

look at the internals of the amp for something that has been jarred loose...

EDIT: I dont even think i would fix the truck. It still drives fine, so i would get what ever money you can and save it for whatever you may want/need.

I love how everyone on here is a body man just because they invented bondo. Everyone is a genius just because instead of doing it right they "hammer it out and fill it with bondo"
