A cop said this?

Funny how when they are involved,

A. He wants to hurry up and leave the scene
B. Doesn't want police or insurance to be called.

I would make sure a report is filed, and also get your insurance involved. Just because he is a cop, should be a reason for him to not have it go on his record.

Otherwise you stand a good chance of getting taken.

you could have your collision shop total the truck, then the insurance company would give you a check, truck gone, check in hand, problem solved.

The truck is more than likely totalled anyways...

You could have them total it, buy it back, fix it and then sale it, but then it would have a salvage title which would really hurt the vaule of the truck...

Or

Have them deem it fixable, fix it yourself (certifit), sale the truck and have the extra money from the insurance....

Haynes- 1992. Its actually a GMC Jimmy.

Chris- Yea i was suprised at the cop too. I now suspect that he might have been drinking. Not positive tho. And yes, a report is filed. I have to pick it up on tues/wed.

Joe and Justin- Im sure the truck isnt totalled. As far as i can see, it needs a bumper, hood, grille and rad support. Im sure it needs some other stuff. I want to involve insurance...since mine shouldnt have to pay a cent since he claimed it was 100% his fault. We shall see.

Either way, i was planning on selling it anyway, so i will probably get used parts and fix it. I think i have a bumper and hood at my house, just need to check. So we shall see.

I will try to get pics asap.
