My stupid *** girlfriend crashed my 2002 f150 harley on Friday. I got full coverage through Geico but they are propably going to total it due to front end work and both air bags.
I am looking for bumper, grill, hood, left front headlight, hood, Air bags. Anyone know where I might be able to find these parts? Anyone know how buying back a totaled vehicle works with Geico? Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
are you also looking for a new girlfriend? lolOriginally Posted by miked954
Not to be a wise *** and I feel for you, but calling the girl friend stupid- some would ask- who's the stupid one.
"stupid ***" is a little nicer then straight up "stupid" in my books.
Where are you located?

I am located in Deerfield Beach, FL, right near Fort lauderdale and Boca raton. I can appreciate the humor about me calling her stupid, but thats a topic for a totally different thread. Obviously I am not happy with her, but luckilly I did have full coverage and did have her listed on the policy. I guess what I am trying to figure out is if anyone has any suggestions for dealing with a total loss vehicle buy back from Geico? What parts for the 2002 Harley would be interchangeable with a regular F150. The air bags propably would be the same, not sure about the hood or fenders, headlights. I am pretty sure they will total it since both air bags blew, but I also have about $2500 in receipts.

Your still dating?
Buying the truck is straight forward. Ins if totaling the truck will offer you the value of the truck. This price is a known price. Then you need to be quick, and ask them to buy the truck back. This price is negotiated between you and Ins. They will ask a price , offer a lower price. The Ins company will auction off the truck to help recover their pay out. Normally a owner buy back saves them a lot of headaches
You need to check with the state DMV laws about retitling a totaled truck. This might help in lowering the price.
Best of luck,

Damn that really sucks. This is why my old lady never drives my vehicles. I bought her a brand new car in 06 and it is covered in dents.
Tonysailor, thats good info. I want to add that if an insurance company "makes an offer" on a total loss vehicle the amount IS NEGOTIABLE. Find the highest comparable vehicles currently for sale and proof of any work done to your vehicle recently. Ask for a copy of the vehicle appraisal report and start negotiating.

Any idea what you would offer the insurance company to buy back my truck if it is totaled if you were in my shoes? It needs new front end, grill, bumper, headlights, hood, 2 air bags, 2 seatbelts, left front fender. I know I can get it fixed fairly cheap if I shop around for parts and I also have about 3K in mods and love the truck. But I want to offer the ins co the lowest price possible that they might accept. I already found the highest priced comparables that i could find and i understand that I am going to have to negotiate the whole deal with them. Im just wondering what a good price to offer would be for the buy back if it is totaled?
Thanks,
Mike
Its going to be hard finding some of those stock parts from other members as many times people are looking for what you are looking for...specifally the front bumper & grill. I sent a text to Cobrafcker (Ken) to see if he still has his stock hood laying around...its Black by the way if he does so hopefully your not DSG or else your gonna need to paint it.
As for everything else...give Mike Nobles up at Riverside Ford a call and tell him "Matt" from Tallahassee on NHTOC gave you his info to see what he can do for pricing. Whenever I need OEM parts and can't find a person who has a truck selling them, I call Mike. He is a great guy....918-six 4 seven-2228
Yes , I has stock hood , fresh paint , was on about 2 weeks before I got a harwood and yes it's black
JLP COMP-R, LFPVB, 6# Lower 2.93 Upper
Hotchkis TVS, Polished C&L plenum & elbow, SBTB, JLP intake
How much for the hood? Mine is not black, but im going to need to have painting done anyway. If anyone has any front end body parts, please email me at starline at hushmail dot com
Thanks,
Mike
