The Cracker Raptor
Last update. State Farm came through for me pretty big. They are giving me $52,000 for the Total loss. After they pay my bank off, I'll have a check for just over $15,000. Oh, and I can keep my 3 undamaged wheels and 4 undamaged tires. They factored in the new motor replacement from Ford and it really helped quite a bit I think. I couldn't find a receipt for the paint to match fenders but I added it into the notes as an add on, and they added $900 to the estimate. I only paid $300 to have them done but they never asked me so I guess I'll just let that one roll like it is. Looking locally for a Raptor but I'm probably gonna go older. Don't really care as long as the miles are reasonable my budget is $35,000 but maybe a bit more for the right deal.
Do you budget $35k after a $15k down payment on a $50k'ish Raptor? I think you will be able to get yourself in to a another Raptor if that's your plan.
That's cool that State Farm stepped up and paid you a decent amount for the Raptor. Makes this crappy situation a little bit better to deal with...
