My isurance company says my car is a total loss.They want to give me 5k less than the value I researced. The method they are using is called Audatex. The insurance adjuster is not budging off his numbers and only giving me 3 days to except thier offer. Should I settle or get a lawyer.

'IF' it's not against a city ordin. or 'IF' you have a garage...sorry thought that went without saying..



Now you're asking entirely too much. Presuming men have the ability to read the mind and understand the "what goes without saying" in the thoughts and exhortations of a woman, let alone one we are not bound to through marital bliss or license.

In reviewing the valuation provided by my insurer I was able to get an increased value because the valuation did not accurately represent the condition of our total loss vehicle, a 2002 Honda Civic EX with 29000 miles. I am unable to challenge their computation of the adjustment for low milage (no details provided, just a statement that it is based on vehicle year, category, and market area), but it appears to me to be low ($1400, at 1.5 cents per mile). Any suggestions? Thanks!

They have to tell you what their methodology is, or on what source they base their determination.

What is your source of information? Check the NADA guides for your make, model, mileage and condition, and market area, and see what you come up with. Use that, if different, to challenge their assessment.
