Salvage SVX's for sale
 

Does anyone know of any SVX's For Sale that have a salvage history. I am trying to find at least one so that I can show the price to the Insurance claim adjuster who is low balling me on our totalled 96 Lsi. I checked nada and low retail for my svx with current mileage is listed at $3950. He must be taking another 50% off of that figure, although he never gave me anything in writing, so I dont know what source he is using to come up with his figures. He is offering me $2100 or $1646 if I keep the car, which I plan on because there are so many new parts on it. This whole salvage B.S. is exactly that. Im getting shafted no matter what, but I would expect to get at least another thousand more than what Infinity is offering. Remember this wasnt our fault and Infinity is the liable persons insurance company. Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like State Farm!

Tell them to fix it or replace it!

The whole NADA is also a scam...
A combined setup for insurance companies so they can disregard the real Blue Book value of cars and so dealers can have something to show people so they can justify a lousy trade in offer.

Don't you just hate the thieving Insurance companies!

Hang in there. They will try to starve you out:mad:

Sometimes you can show them invoices on a couple of thousand dollars worth of new parts that you have put on and they may? agree that you possibly deserve another $20 for your car. (The way State Farm did me)

They are too big and will never settle fairly with anyone... Basically because they don't want to. Their slogan... Like a good neighbor, State Farm Is There! It should be... just "Forget it"

Sorry,

If it isn't your insurance company, approach them with a replace/repair demand. Considering the car cannot be assessed truely this is the best option

This is a grey area I think. You wish to raise the value of the car a few thousand, based on many new parts, which you'll be buying back from them when you keep the car, for only a couple hundred. It's sticky, because if you raise it up enough, they won't total it, and will attempt to repair. Then you'll get your car back, from who knows what mechanic, no cash, and a big hassle.

I got $4710 for my wrecked 95 LSI (123000 miles) after 500 deductable.

Happy to send the records if you want cuz they truly justifed the SVX's actual value.

I got 5200 from my insurance company after a 500 deductible. That was for a 1994 LSi with under 100k miles

Re: Salvage SVX's for sale
 

First off, you never accept the first offer the insurance company gives you. They lowball every offer they send out, which is a smart business decision.

Second, a 96 LSi is worth 5K + in decent running condition. What I talked to my insurance agent about is whether they could find another 2 door, AWD, luxury car that can replace it. those 3 adjectives limit it down to pretty much the 3000gt vr4 and the SVX. tell them to find a similar car for you to buy with the money they're giving you.

Im not sure if you guys are addressing my concern exactly. I dont see anyway that the other persons at fault Insurance company (Infinity) will give me anything close to what my car is really worth because of the previous salvage history my car had before I bought it. I still have a copy of the original salvaged title and Bill of Sale that shows what I paid for it. $5,600 in Oct. 05. The car was already rebuilt when I bought it on ebay. Besides having the adjuster show me his source for the offer he made me, what other documents should I have to show them to properly negiatate for more money. Again, you guys all got what you should have, but you werent clear on whether your cars were previously salvaged. Thats why Im getting such a ridiculous low ball offer. Remember my car has previous salvage history. Look at my previously salvaged Maryland title, clear Maryland Title, and clear Connecticut Title.

I do not have any experience in this situation, but keeping all of your receipts and Bill of sale is a wise decision. Have you sat down with everyone stuffed the information in their mouth and demanded a certain amount. Yes the car is a salvage, but you just spent [insert amount here] at Old Tom's to fix some of that chop job done by the previous guy. Perhaps speaking with a lawyer would help. You've probably already done this, but I'm just thinking of ways to help. I would be :mad: too if I was in your situation. I would make their lives a living hell until I got the amount I deserved.


Give em' hell! ....oh and good luck :)
