Cadillac CTS-V - Insurance Adjuster

Anyone here an insurance adjuster? Or recently total their V and have a loss pay out?

Just trying to get ahead of the game a little. V is totaled, interested in buying it back and parting it out. Just not sure how that works out monetarily, money to ins agency, money to scrap yard... Etc. she is pretty well damaged, but I know the engine is salvageable along with 50% of the mods I did. Only had four more payments and then she was getting parked. Have had plans in the making for V2 coupe but have to wait until my youngest is in a booster seat.

Didn't have a chance to put the following on, so if your interested, shoot me a PM:

Kars kit - everything inc
Ported Fast 90 w/ ported LS2 TB and fuel rails w/ pressure ind.
Oil catch can - Elite Engineering ( seemed to have misplaced this - looking )


Stuff on car:
Bmr pinion support
Trans mount
1-7/8 headers w/ hi flow
Corsa sport mufflers - 1 is dented on top of canister
Cam
LS7 lifters
Worked over 243's

So far, that's all I know that is good.

I've had my 03 CTS as a total loss and the way it worked was I was given $10k... If I wanted to keep the car, the car ended with a salvaged title and I had to give up 2k... so I would get 8k.

Should be something along those lines. Speak with your own insurance to see what they'll say.

What brand are the headers?

Ss wrecker- They are OBX

Odthetruth - I guess it depends on the damage...? My wife is trying to talk me out of it. I'm with her on it, I just have a hard time letting go of all the work I did to it.

I can give you some details. I totalled mine, cracked the frame, not a ton of damage to other parts of the car, fender, fog lights and radiator, thats about it. Bought it back for some pieces. It was an 04 with 93k miles. Price to buy back wasn't bad. PM if you have questions

Can you convince them to let you pull out all the performance parts and replace them with the stockers in your garage, since they probably don't factor that into the salvage price?

Sorry to hear of the loss... sounds like you're ok.

I'm interested in:
- Headers w/ cats
- Rear seat bottom if it's black
- trans mount

PM me prices if you'd like to sell. I can send back stock stuff if you need it.

Damn... That sucks! Sent u a pm though. Any chance it has black interior and u wanna sell the seats?

As far as the cam, heads, etc... You're prob better just selling the motor complete with those things for a little more money. Seems like too much of a pain to part those things off IMO. The bolt-ons however, not a big deal to remove to sell.

PM sent

like neversatisfied said...sell the motor whole.. im interested in the kars and catch can. pm me details and $

id also be interested in the entire shifter assy and boot

Just got a call from the appraiser, he said he is takin into consideration of the performance parts and has to submit his offer through his supervisor. I should hear back tomorrow.

Sounds good. I sent you a PM a bit ago.
