Go the Holdens,I found out at work the other day about the ve utes not good if you have a side hit in the passenger side.
We had a ss ute come in for a quote the other day with a side hit behind the door. Wasn't to bad but bad enough for a quarter panel so we quoted it up and you can only buy the full side sill cant rail in one piece so that's fine but,
The vin no is a sticker on the pillar and holden wont reprint it so they give you a letter of repair with the vin on it witch I wouldn't want It proves it has had a smack in the side.
You cant repair the quarter panel if it crushes the foam on the inside because it lets carbon dioxide into the cab not good for ute owners and I bet there are going to be allot of Gen 4s in the wreckers so they give the guy a pay out figure of 35g and the ute ows him 50+ not good just wanted to share some info.
Ouch! Turn 50k plus interest into 35k... nasty....
It's how it happens though. If you take that scenario, you've got to look at the purchase price, cost of the money (finance) and PAMV (pre-accident market value).
There are a lot of cases where people buy vehicles the know will depreciate, and then are disappointed with the market value when that is assessed at the time of claim.
