Cheapness of Texas tract homes is often overestimated. Good parts of Texas are more expensive than Temecula (though substantially less expensive than Rancho Bernardo).
[/quote]That’s dead on. A nice house in a nice neighborhood with good schools will cost you way more than Temecula. Property taxes are ridiculous. My daughter’s property taxes are nearly $4000 a year for a house valued at $150k. If you need to sell your tract home, good luck with that because people would rather buy a new house. And there is no shortage of new homes or land to build them on.

Like I said a KB POS.Average summer temperatures are about 95, frequently over a 100 and really flippin’ humid. Winter average temps are around 40. I visited San Antonio in August a couple of years ago and it was 112 for a whole week.

Participant[quote=AN]You can always live in Texas. $200k can get you 3000+ sq-ft over there.[/quote]
$200k will get you a KB POS. I’d rather spend a thousand more on a mortgage than air conditioning bills. Texas property taxes are ridiculous and the weather is just plain nasty. There is a reason (actually many reasons) Texas is so cheap.

ParticipantUnless the car was stolen they(Wawanesa) are responsible. Years ago Allstate tried to pull that crap on me and failed when my car was hit and run in front of my house. The reality of the matter is bottom line it is the car that is insured not the driver. The girlfriend of the policyholder’s son was driving and Allstate tried to get out of paying because I couldn’t prove who was driving.
Just before Christmas my daughter’s boyfriend’s car was hit in front of my house. Liberty Mutual dealt with him quite fairly I thought. It was 1991 corrolla in fair condition with over 200,000 and they settled for $1297 total after deducting the salvage value ($181) and giving him credit for recent repairs ($200)
If she has made recent repairs like brakes, tires, or a new battery within the last 6 months she should get partial credit for them. Also she should get some money for each day she has lost use of her car, from the time it was wrecked till they settle she should be compensated for this.
I realize this a a big loss for your friend but I think this is too small a loss to bother with an attorney.
Unfortunately, no matter what, even if you are dealt with fairly you are never going to be made totally whole when your car is wrecked. It’s just the way it is.
