Yeah don't bend over if she asks you to. But seriously don't just take her word that its totaled if she says it. I don't know the laws but I am pretty sure you are able to get it evaluated by someone else.

Re: SVX crumpled by a Jeep bumper, how bad?
Ok all done w the adjuster. Her estimate, $1800. Nevada law says if the cost of the repairs exceeds 65% of the vehicles value, they are required to total it. KBB for my car, $2495 in fair, $2995 in good condition. Mine is right in the middle of that, so about $2750. 1800/2750 = 65.5%.
So in all honesty I could argue that with the work I have done on the engine and exhaust, the car could be worth $2900, making the damage 62%. This is close enough to argue against totaling my car out right? What else could I tell this claims rep when they call to make them reconsider totaling my car (which means less money for me to fix it since they deduct for keeping the car). Headaches |

But who knows, ask Trevor (I can't remember his name on here) about his experience. I believe they valued his car at $2700 at first. And he was able to fight and ended up getting it valued at $4500 or something like that. His was a 92 with 174k on it or something. He did have aftermarket rims and had done a lot of work though. Edit: It was Tiv0. Here's his thread Last edited by 1986nate; 08-26-2010 at 02:36 PM. |
