I have a 1994 L (FWD) which was struck in the rear by a Memphis City Schools SCHOOLBUS. Took a week to get an adjuster to look at the car and he estimated value at $1600. The adjuster is on contract with the bus company's insurance company which doesn't seem to have an agent in the Memphis area. I do have an 800 number for the agent handling the claim and I disputed the adjuster's evaluation. The agent immediately raised the evaluation to $2,875 (NADA mid-range retail). Unfortunately, repairs are estimated at 2,800 before they even look at the suspension - and the car is not drivable due to rear vibration at about 40mph. After talking with the owner of the body shop where my SVX is currently residing, I did a search on the internet for 1994 - 1997 SVXi for sale within 500 miles of Memphis.

Lowest price I found: $3,500

I will be disputing the evaluation if they still try to total my car. Recommend you do same to get "real" value of your car.
