Re: It was fun while it lasted, but the party is over!!

The insurance company’s story doesn’t make any sense to me. Claiming the wreckage of a 45+ year old truck has a value over $2,000 sounds insane. This is an insurance company not an antique car collecting environment. Stating they have a bidder already willing to pay $2,150 makes it sound like its’ someone in their office, not a legitimate source. I’d probably contact someone at the home office before accepting that the buy back is non-negotiable.

When my 67 Chevelle was wrecked back in the 80’s, the adjuster told me the buy back price was 10% of the settlement. He also told me the car was so beautiful and felt so bad about it being wrecked, I could have it back for free. I would expect similar treatment with your truck.
