What is the NADA price?
nada.com
Anyone can _ask_ whatever they want for a vehicle. The _selling_ price is something different.
Obtain a copy of the carrier evaluation and make sure all the information on your car is correct. I cannot tell you the numbers of times I've seen this information be incorrect. |

Yes... but in this case the insurance company was basically using ads for vehicles being sold (CarTrader, AutoTrader, etc). That is, they were not using a database of _sold_ prices... they were using "asking" prices. How many cars have you bought and paid the asking price. |

where did you find your vehicle worth that?
I come up with clean retail at 6875.00 (then you'll need to add or subtract the following to that figure)...power sunroof +425.00, w/out a.c. -$550.00, aluminum/alloy wheels +200.00.....
Was there some prior 'unrepaired' damage to your vehicle?
