Salvage SVX's for sale

SVX92-97 · #1 07-23-2008, 12:52 PM

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

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.
