i want my truck in same condition it was in when i had it. mechanical, interior, exterior and all my stolen possessions accounted for. i have always got certified appraisals on any vehicle i owned that was worth way more than book value. i was sick to my stomach when i saw no truck outside as i remembered i was going to get it appraised but never did. that will be done immediately now.
You need to get more than that out of your insurance company Tom.
Fact of the matter is if they return your truck exactly like it was when it was taken you are still out money. If you go to trade the truck in you will be asked if there has ever been a damage claim in excess of $2,000.00 (I believe that is the amount) if it has a claim above that amount your trade-in value will be greatly reduced. You need the extra compensation to cover this "hidden" loss that most people never think about.
With every vehicle I ever traded in, I had to sign a document stating that, to the best of my knowledge, my vehicle has never had a claim exceeding that amount.
I would start by going to a dealer and asking how much you would get for a trade-in on a new vehicle and then ask how much that amount is reduced since it has had a significant claim against it.
Good luck
