My thoughts, don't accept it .. lol. I have a 1978 Malibu .. on the books
it's probably worth $1500 .. but mine would be more worth $9000, it's
insured at that value with photos on record showing all the work put into
it. If my truck was done and someone hit it and the insurance didn't want
to pay what it takes to fix it, they'd get my foot up their rear.
