    What about getting a quote from CarMax to buy your car? They supposedly look at the vehicle history.

    Thanks, I was thinking about going in to the dealer as well, having someone appraise it to compare the loss value between parties then submit more than one sources to the insurance.

    Does this sort of thing work with hail damage too, and does it lead to rate retaliation by the ins co? I'm leery about how repairs will last long term - it is a mix of replace and repair, estimated to take 6+ weeks once in the shop.

    Really low miles 2014 Tacoma, which of course hold value normally.

    I'm not sure with hail, but I know someone who gotten his car fixed for hail damage and said his rate didn't go up, technically you didn't make it hail so not your fault. Not my fault with accident either, so rate won't go up.

    First of all, it's not rate retaliation. Second, your rates should not be changed due to a comprehensive claim.

    Most people don't know anything about most subjects, so I wouldn't be surprised if you had a difficult time selling your Tacoma for full market value after a hail claim. That said, hail doesn't affect function or safety of the vehicle at all, and unless someone can point to a specific area of the vehicle and prove that the vehicle is still damaged by hail, I doubt I'd cave to pressure to lower the price.

    Most people are completely stupid when it comes to insurance.

    That being said, Irving is right.

    What insurance is on the other side? Please don't say loya or general

    I got hit 3 times by 3 different people in 8 days. Twice in my car and once in the rental. One of the 3 didnt have insurance (and was the one who totalled my car). My rates didnt go up. It did make me want to purchase a deuce and a half.

    When my Forester was stolen and totaled I looked into the same thing having an independent appraiser value the car as I was given 4K less from esurance than it would have taken to get me into a car of the same year and model. But it took the timeline of getting paid on the claim out another 2-3 months with no gaurentee it would change what they would pay on top of the 6 weeks it took to even get a payout offer from them and I was sick of dealing with it.

    So did you just say fuck it and move on? or did you actually fight it out?

    I know there was a thread here about leasing vehicles. My wife had leased a vehicle once and about three months before the lease was up she was in a little accident that did right at $14K worth of damage. After the repairs were made we just turned it in and walked away.
