I'll have to check. CO changed the credit. I heard there was an $80K cutoff but the devil is in those details. I'm not going to count on it but it'll be a pleasant surprise if I get some credit back.
I'm pretty sure I won't leave the iKamper behind..
No kiddin' on that spare. Even if the tire is popped I want that back. I paid $1000 for it.
He’s a Major Butthead.
Get this yet? 🫱
Currently owning both vehicles, this hurts me twice as much.
Today I had the most expensive trip to IKEA without buying a damn thing.
It was wet and rainy and the guy behind me wasn't quick on the stop. He got a face full of air bag and distroyed his otherwise lovely X-Terra that he said he paid off just a couple of months ago.
I was well behind the guy in front of me. Even as I hit the brakes I was looking for my escape route as I saw the X-Terra in my side mirror. I tried to get out of his way but he tagged me anyways.
On the positive side my wife, son, and I are completely unharmed. The truck DID ITS JOB.
On the negative, I think the frame is significantly bent. The tow hitch receiver has be shoved back into the truck and is bent upwards. If you look at the bed floor, it has be shoved up, potentially be the frame. IMO its worse than it looks.
I called Rivian service and they dispatched a tow truck. BTW, Rivian service is great but their software makes it hard for them to request a tow truck without a street address. We were on an interstate which does't have street addresses. I think they could make that go a bit easier. I was able to give them a pretty precise location. It took a long time for the tow to show up but the driver knew exactly what to do. He also had a large enough cab that he could get the family and I off the highway and all the way back home since it was on the way to the tow yard. He was a pretty nice fellow but he thinks my truck is totaled.
I've got Rivian/Nationwide insurance so I'm now crossing my fingers that I'm not going to be screwed out of owning a Rivian. Mine was bought at the original price, just under $80k. That same truck is now about $95K. So i'm not sure how that works. I do have New Car Replacement Plus coverage so fingers crossed.
Unfortunately the answer is "no", they cannot (and will not) changeout the VIN on an existing loan. Even if they could, why would a lender do that? The current loan has to be closed out (probably with insurance proceeds which have to be properly accounted for). Let's just hope OP had a "replacement cost" rider or policy since prices have also gone up significantly (post Mar 1 2022).
It doesn't matter whether OP has replacement policy, it wasn't his fault. Although it IS a good idea to verify your policy includes this in case you have an accident that is deemed your fault.
It looks like Navy FCU is up about 1.5% over the rate I got. I'm planning to mitigate that by paying down the principal on the replacement vehicle. I got $11K in tax credits from my current R1T sitting in savings. I was looking to apply that to my current truck but now it'll go to the replacement.
I am not an expert, but his tires look a little on the bald side for a 4x4.
