That is fixable. I'm in the Orlando area. Let me know if they let you buy it back. I'd be interested in resurrecting it.

There are tons of real nice cars listed in the F/S threads.

Ouch...Good luck with State Farm. We had them about 14 years ago and the really screwed us on a claim.

[Motorhead350]

Sell to David!!!

[MERCMAN]

State farm has replacement value, so look for one to buy.

[Bigdogjim]

If the damage is 80% or above book value then it totaled.
Keep us posted.

[chief455]

Oh, that is totaled. A fender, head/side lights and bumper cover resulted in $4200 claim.
Sorry for your loss, she was a beauty.
Hopefully you can avoid the dreaded salvage title and somebody will re nose her.

I hate cars I have after they have been crashed. Lost love.

Hopefully their payout for the total loss get's you close to another MM.
Then line up a buyer from this board to go rescue it.
Good luck.

What's my total value of a mm with 96k. How much can I get it back for. Its worth it or not. That's my question.

I bought back a Mustang that was totaled a few years ago, I was paid out $9,500 for it, and bought it back for $400.

[RubberCtyRauder]

I would start documenting(printing out) for sale cars with like miles/condition to use as a reference. If they total it, don;t accept the first offer, use the
information found to negotiate for more. If they total it, you wont be able to go pilfer parts off it, they total the "whole" car as it is its. The salvage value will vary based on degree of damage and possibility of reselling parts that are good. Salavge price could be anywhere from $1000 to $3500 is my guess. If they total it and you do not "buy" it back it will go to like a Copart site for auction. You don;t actualy buy it but they reducce that amount from your settlement and you keep car and the reduced check. Do not let thme take it to a copart yard if you or anhother member work out a deal to buy it back. they handle them rough to say the least

This is a correct and accurate statement. Be prepared to document the rarity and value of your Marauder. Reject the first offer.

Been there, done that. Really sorry to hear about your accident man. Truly sucks. I know how you feel and what you're going through

Great info.
If he takes the reduced payment for total loss and keeps the car, will the title be branded?

If he and I can work out a real affordable deal to rescue it, it'll be going to car shows and be semi retired. ;)

********. What kind of insurance doesn't let you buy back your vehicle? And remember, reject the first offer they give. They will try to lowball. Prepare to fight back

[Navirauder]

I reject the first for 12.5k. they accept my offer 14.8k minus my deductible and my of 250 and let me keep my rims and tires with big spare with cover and original jack and ford escape 6 cd radio matts. Perhaps I will try to take my trunk organizer tomorrow morning to collect my license plate and my check. Later after noon I'm still waiting on the phone call from rep about buying the car back and how much.

Wow, sorry to hear this. Not letting you buy it back is unbelievable but I'm sure there's some fine print somewhere that says they can make that decision. $14k isn't shabby. Best of luck on finding a replacement.

[Mebot]

Yeah $14k is really good, so glad you fought for more $$ but I still find it incredulous that they won't sell it back.

Bring tools and strip as much as you can when collect all your other parts

$14k can buy a Trilogy car. this was a blessing. Keep what you can and feel lucky, we hot rodders usualy do not get return on investment from the man.
Hope it comes together..
If the don't sell it back, try to snoop out where it goes and alert MMBLUE

396313963239633396343963539636 39637396383963939640. People are trying to sell low miles marauder with the screws rusted on top of the manifold bolts and driver seat rip and wrinkle and under seat bracket all rusted. Like if the car has been on a flood. Look at my PVC valve ordinal with 96k. Look like day one. State Farm wants 3500 hundred for the car. I'm afraid to accept and get stuck with the car. No body buy it.

See if MMblue wants it and get the money up front from him then you do not lose out. Everyone of my CV's and my first Marauder suffered from front seat bolt rust..it's kind common, wet carpet from rain etc from shoes or snow. It's not a sign of flood. Yours do look new, but you live in FL, away from salt air..I know it is hot and humid, but it must be a northern thing

$3500 is way too much to buy it back.
I bought mine back for $1000

[chief455]

MMBLUE has asked several times to buy the car = he deserves first refusal. $3500 for a good car needing a nose may be great for a body guy
or just take the $14k and shop around.

[Mebot]

$3500 is way too much to buy it back.

This is correct. 3500 is steep, but you are getting $14k back... So it averages back down to $10,500 for the car. After its all said and done.

[Navirauder]

I spoke to mm blue this morning. I ask him whats the value that He wants to pay to nego with State Farm.he gave me zero digits. It very easy for them to cut my check minus $3500 I'm not trying to make money, My dream is to buy a trilogy. Guys what I'm afraid is to keep it and get stuck with it. I need to move on and buy a car. ASAP. This deal is till Monday. Monday I get my check.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just a thought..there is a trilogy for sale right now that could use some cosmetic stuff,,maybe buy it (he is open to offers) and keep yours and put the best of all parts into one car and sell of the remaining bits or swapped out stuff...trim, doors, wheels, motor, etc.

[Navirauder]

grab the trunk organizer, tell us where the car is so someone can try to buy it, take your full check, leave the car and buy another. easiest path to a better car for you.
leave the crash behind you.

For the masses, he still hasn't got a number from the insurance company. I'm not going to just throw a number out there when the company could say, just give us 1K so we don't have to pay storage and towing.

+1 Geico wanted $2,500 for my totaled MM. It looked much like yours. I said no. I ended up buying it back at auction for $1,000 plus fees.

Unfortunately I had other significant costs, but still made it all back and I have a spare engine.

Make sure you ask for their written assessment. Most likely you'll find errors because you know the car better than they do.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[vegasmarauder]

What the adjuster is doing is seeing if one of their "good customer" auto wreckers is interested in it and what they are willing to pay to skip the auction. Under 100K miles the engine and trans are all the wrecker is interested in, all the other parts are generic CV/MGM stuff and not worth much. Assuming on a good day the wrecker can get $1900-2000 for the engine and trans they aren't going to want to pay anything over $1500. Especially with the wheels gone (another $900-1000 tops for those) so they may come back with a lower more realistic number. They are going on the assumption you really want it back. 25% of the payout is the usual starting buy it back offer. They should come down. I have seen Florida is doing some weird stuff on their salvage auctions. Cars with minor damage are being labeled with "certificate of destruction." which means parts only, never to be re-registered in the US. I was under the impression that insurance companies are not happy with having to pay 2 times on a totaled out car that has been rebuilt and are trying to stop it. Plus, a lot of VIN fraud on salvage vehilces seems to have come from Florida so they may be tightening up. Make sure they are ginving you a "Salvage" title and not a "certificate of destruction" title.

Just found out this morning that my check is at the local branch. I specific told them I wanted the car. I feel they gave me the run around like if someone had interested in it.
