Yup, when my wife totaled her BMW two years ago, I spent weeks negotiating everything from the wheels to the exhaust system. They ended up letting me yank the car from the insurance yard, swap back off of the factory parts for my aftermarket parts, and have the car brought back to the yard. We then settled on a price. I took the aftermarket parts and and put them on the exact same car.

 

If the car was parked, it’s a no fault, not sure why your insurance company is involved at all. Our sons 2001 V70 which had a salvage title and we paid $1500 for it. The car was being driven by our oldest son and insured on our policy (liability only), he had the car parked and was picking up food, a driver in a rental pickup attempted to pull into the space next to the Volvo, he side swiped it and then continued over the sidewalk and into the sub shop. He had State Farm as well, I contacted them, they said I did not need to notify my insurance since their driver was 100 percent at fault. I used the mobile app to take pictures for the estimate. They said it was a total loss and offered $3475. I asked them how soon they could pick it up. They need to offer an amount to replace yours with a similar vehicle, mods included. I would do my best to get the number up and if you want another D2 and have the space, purchase the vehicle back as you’d have all the parts to build it back better by swapping parts to another D2. My .02

 

We kept the truck. I'm currently looking for another, preferably white, SE7. 99-02.

If someone finds one, please let me know.

not mine.


Edit: and not an SE7.

 

I did see that ad on CL. I prefer something that's not messed with too much.
They put those plastic headlights on an earlier year. If it wasnt done correctly theres a ton of monkey rigging going on. Makes me think there may be other issues.

 

yeah. that's kept me from jumping on it, as well.

but thought id throw it out there anyway.
