Thanks, Bruce > gather up FS ads with other similar vintage westys and use them to substantiate the value of your '85. dont let the adjuster pick a figure from his book and walk away. be prepared to fight. when you are happy with the settlement, THEN, ask them what the buyback is, and you can make the rest of your money back by parting it out , or if the damage is not bad, fix it yourself and continue to enjoy it. good luck chris |
