So i was involved in an accident where my jeep was hit on the drivers side and it pushed the axle to the passenger side by about 3 inches. the adjuster said it would be a total loss. then told me the value of the car is 3500. but that if i decide to keep it the salvage value is $950. so i would only get a check for 2450. is the salvage value high? i only ask because a friend of mine got his 2000 cherokee totalled out and his buy back was 400 with more aftermarket parts.

yeah well ive lucked out so far and havent paid for any of my lift or tires or rims. lift was a gift from my exgf. and rims and tires were a trade for my stock rims and tires. only thing i bought was the roof rack and that was $20 bucks.

im still waiting to see if i get the check. and the reason i asked about the value is that a friend of mine recently scrapped a zj and only got about 500 outta it. so the 950 seems high.

Because it was far too trashed to fix myself. When I get it back tomorrow, it will be completely fixed and I'll have enough insurance money left over to pay off my loan and go to Spring Break in Florida, plus my insurance company doesn't penalize in any way for deer strikes, so I walked away ahead.
