datsunaholic Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 With pretty much any Datsun a paint scratch totals it in insurance companies eyes. Quote Link to comment

steve g Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 just tell them you wont let it total and take the cash buyout.... you can keep your truck with a clean title and you will get about 70% of what the salvage check would have been. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Keep it at your place while you discuss payment and buying the totaled truck back. If they have it, it'll be crushed before you even accept any kind of payment. Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Well I settled with them and my title is salvage it sucks but I am ok with it . Due to the fact that my 620 is not for sale and never will be , I am just keeping my head up and marching forward with my build Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 after i rear ended the Pathfidner in april, my insureance co never came out to even look at it. and mine was WAY worse than yours. Quote Link to comment
King620 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 up here where I am...anything older than 1993 will be written off, for a keyed(scratched) paint surface.....broken headlight, or even a minor scuff.....the government wants these "old polluting junkers off the road" Quote Link to comment
mellotrongirl Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I hit a deer near Long Creek, Oregon, and its rack puctured the radiator of a '76 B210 I once had--I just bought it for $1,899 in 1980 and put a decent sound system and new tires/wheels on it and Farmer's Insurance want to total it. They wanted to give me $1,200 and wouldn't let me take the stereo or go back to stock with the old wheels either. So I paid $500 or so to replace the bumper and the radiator and never went for the $250 deductable policy ever again. Quote Link to comment
