Well good luck dealing with the bast... I mean insurance people.

I will be really surprised if you get blue book for it (if they total it). My old Sportage was totaled, and at the time I remember finding that blue book was something like 5 to 6k, and they only gave me 3k.

They actually claimed that the lift, stereo, and other mods made the vehicle worth less, by the way. If I had been able to give them invoices showing that a shop had installed those things, they would have put those costs towards what they paid me, but since I purchased parts and did the work myself, I wasn't able to get anything for that.

Hope you get more than I did, but don't be surprised if they screw you over! Luckily in my case I was able to sue them because of my injury and got some extra cash for that.
