87 STEPPER · 09-08-2003, 07:22 PM

A coworker wrecked his truck this week end and wanted to know what it was worth so i went to www.kbb.com to get him the a resale value.

So i wanted to see what my truck would pull and here's the stat's

1987 Chevrolet 10 pickup short bed

5.7 v8
auto
2wd
78000 miles(actual)

Equip.

silverado pkg.
a/c
p/s
p/w
p/dl
tilt wheel
cruise
am/fm/cd
premium sound
stepside bed
custom bumper
optional fuel tank
towing pkg.
premium wheels
wide tires

Condition---Excellent

"Excellent condition" means that the vehicle looks great, is in excellent mechanical cond. and needs no reconditioning. It should pass a smog insp. The eng. compartment should be clean,with no fluid leaks. The paint is glossy and the body and interior are free of any wear or visable defects. There is no rust. The tires are the proper size and match and are new. A clean title history is assumed. This is an exceptional vehicle.

Private Party Value......$3.280

When mine was wrecked they only offered $1200. We rebought it with a salvage title for $700. It was in perfect condition. I just booked it and got $2775. That is in excelent condition. $2005 with salvage title.

KBB is ridiculous. The best way to find out the true value of a vehicle is to get a licensed vehicle appraiser to appraise it. Keep the report cuz it might come in handy someday. Banks do pay attention to the appraisal report and insurance companies might too.

I think they run about $300.

This what always scares me about putting money into my truck. I know that, even with full coverage, the insurance company will never pay me what it is worth.

My truck is very clean and straight. It took me a year of searching to find one this nice. I paid $3550 for it, and that was a really good deal compared to what others were going for. I know, though, that I could never get that much back from insurance if it were stolen or wrecked. I have spent at least $1000 on improvements over the two years I have had it, as well as a couple of hundred hours of my time. I would lose so much if something happened to it.

All you have to do is get a apraisal, then submit that to the insurance company and change your policy acordingly.
