Yes everyone should look at their insurance closely. Because all they want to give me is 5900 and that wont buy anything . so forewarned if anyone else has an older Tahoe or whatever please make sure you get insurance for what it is worth. and My insurance does not care that they are at an all time high for sales. So ends the story of my beloved Tahoe.
Figures. The insurance company always comes out ahead. Gonna buy it back from them?

I dont know what I have to give them I need to find out. My neighbor down the street restores cars he has done some nice work with the cars he has gotten. I am going to talk to him it depends on the frame too i guess . Its probably the only way I would get a decent vehicle, Anyone ever had any experience on a buy back

I bought back my totalled 89 Formula years ago. I lived in Pa at the time. I think your buy back is based on the salvage value--but don't quote me on that. Once I bought it back, the title was branded, so it no longer had a clean title. I drove it for a little while until the rear started to whine really bad, then I parted it out.

Did you get a copy of their basis for this value (comps used, etc.) to negotiate it? Compare prices with comparable vehicles for sale.

They typically sell it back to you for salvage value. No clue what that would be, but some calls to salvage yards may give you a ballpark.

If the cost to fix is affordable, perhaps cancel the claim and avoid a branded title? Lose-lose, I guess.

I got them to up the amount they will pay me by pointing out items they missed. However, does anyone know where I can do what I used to call a VIN roll, where I can get the complete sheet of the build out for this particular vehicle - how many of each etc. I was able to do that with my 2000 camaro but I cannot remember how or where I found it.
Thanks

Compnine might have something like that, but I don’t think it was a Marti report like they have for Fords where they break down production quantities.

Like a window sticker? I know I have gotten a window sticker for a 2014 Challenger and a 2014 GMC Sierra online, but I am not sure if they go that far back. And I am not sure if there is a build sheet anywhere in these. You could contact GM customer service to see if they can help you out.
