Question about insurance claim... Posted by Goblin [Email] (#2224) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Goblin) on Sat, 4 Jun 2022 15:38:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So the rear axle got bent today on the 900. Anybody got a realistic number on how much a rear axle is worth and labor costs to install that, I will have to swap over the calipers and rotors and pads onto the new axle and the brake lines on to the new axle so all the original equipment other than the axle stays with the car. I'm thinking 2000 is not too much what does everybody else think. This is an 87. So hopefully I can find a good used decent one. He also got into the rear bumper a little bit and that rear extension behind the rear wheel so it will need to be repainted. I'm thinking another seven or $800 to repaint that. And of course it broke that 12 mm silver strip on the bumper and that extension. So I will also have to find that. Anybody else's thoughts would be appreciated. Does that sound reasonable the insurance adjuster is coming out next week I just don't want to get screwed. I will be the one doing all the repairs and I don't really know how to tell them that so I don't get screwed over. And I wouldn't trust anybody else to work on a Saab. I've been down that road . Any thoughts on what I should say or not say would be helpful so I could get this car fixed.
