[Mgs] That new 78 B got rear ended today....

[Andrew Lundgren]

I wasn't able to get an agreed value insurance on a B for daily driver 
use.  Let a lone one being driven by a 17 year old. Collision coverage 
wasn't a lot more than liability, so I went for it.  At least I am just 
dealing with my company.

I am hoping it works out well also.  The adjuster is coming on Tuesday...

They "totaled" it, but allowed him to buy the carcass back for less than they gave him. It went for parts, netting him more than it was worth, and providing a good engine to a 911 in need. If you have "declared value" cover, the company will pay costs up to the value you specified, unlike the standard cover, in which they depreciate arbitrarily, set a book value, pay off a fraction of that and subtract a handling charge.
