Hi, my husband was hit last week and the other driver was at fault, our car was totaled and we are at odds over the ACV of our car with the insurance co. it's a 2005 Mini Cooper S with all the upgrades(leather, fog lamps, harman-kardon sound system, ugdo, rain sensors, dynamic stability control, cockpit package, mp3) everything (except sunroof) we paid 29,800 at the dealer and it's been highly maintained, no previous damage of any kind and 77,000 miles. Edmunds and local comps are showing between 19k(private) & 21k(dealer) to replace. The Insurance co. is using CCC and offering 15k, Would you have an ACV from someone other than CCC or Edmunds I could reference with the adjuster? Thank you!

Wow, great article, Mike! Thanks for the link.
My car was totaled a couple of years ago and I had to fight with an insurance company that was using a CCC valuation report. I ended up having to sue the insurance company's insured in small claims court in order to get a fair amount for my vehicle.
The best advice I can offer to anyone is this: get a written copy of that valuation report. That will be your starting point!

I agree with dave, written documents are always handy as proofs.

Do you have documents supporting you repair, rebuild and rework claims? If you do, you can submit them to the insurance company and they'll boost the total value.
