+1. Nice 951s are increasing in value, and one question that could hurt resale is "has it been involved in an accident?"
So the pickup truck driver has been rude to the insurance reps, eh? This should definitely help your cause. Obviously you can't say this about all big truck drivers, but in my experience they have been among the most obnoxious, aggressive drivers on the road. It's Freshman year psychology when you get down to it, simple alpha-dog behavior: there are certain types of men who always want to feel like the biggest, strongest dog on the block. This also goes for while they were in traffic. There was a time when you would have made this argument about Porsche/Corvette owners, but the truck owner has taken this mantle, IMHO. And I mean this in general; of course there are completely reasonable truck drivers out there.
