My brother bought his first brand new truck two weeks ago. It still has the temp sticker in the window waiting for the license plates to arrive.
Last week his wife didn't see a car traveling down a 25mph road and pulled in front of it, hitting the drivers side front quarter panel.
The bids are back from the body shop as well as the independent insurance adjuster... $28,800. Frame is damaged beyond repair and they want to get a new frame and move the entire truck over to it. My brother is fighting to get it totaled so he doesn't have to deal with the problems from the frame switch; but we don't know what will happen yet.
I'm more than a little bothered that this impact, which didn't even cause an airbag deployment, resulted in fatal frame damage. Thoughts?
