My New Shelby Rear Ended

[Tony356993]

Was contacted yesterday by both insurance companies and they are finally starting to do the math.

Value of salvaged car has been estimated at 50-60k and is being quietly "shopped" around.

Cost to ship the car to and from Vegas is 4k

Cost to have Shelby do all repairs is 20k.

My allowable rental car cost is 3k

Simply, they could eliminate 27k in costs and receive say 55k from selling the salvage.

Sound much easier to make the customer happy and cut me a check for the agreed value of 85k so I have a chance ofnordering another car. However, I only have until 12/31 to put a non refundable deposit on a replacement car. If the insurance companies drag their feet any longer and then total the car, I may miss the chance.

Shelby is making a convertible gt350 for 2012. Obviously would be sweet but then no track. If my neck feels the way it does this morning, there may be no track anyway.
