$7000 is an expensive door fix.

when you add in the rental car and the week to find the brand new door thats how it got up to $7000.
Still got a great deal on a 2011 ranger sport 4x2 with only 14700 kms with 5yrs bumper to bumper warranty for only $6500 with my car.

You got an alright deal, the Ranger is not an expensive truck to buy brand new...

came with added running boards,push bar,tool box, power windows and locks. seen 3 of same with 60000kms or more for $1000 more and without the add ons this one had.
i know its a cheaper truck but with a 4900 towing rating its great.

So if someone re-end you and insurance just had the car repaired. It means that when you re-sell it, the value of the car decreases, so who suffer the costs of that decrease? The owner?

I've had my car re-ended 2x at no fault of my own.

Yes you can get screwed. There is a term for it, Accelerated depreciation. In some states insurance pays up for it but here the owner gets stiffed. It can cost thousands depending on the make / model. I think B.C. has it as well but the Ontario companies flat out tell you to suck it up because we get such low rates.
