Today the adjuster called me and made his settlement offer $19k???? What???? I fought tooth and nail....researching emailing his photos pointing out the discrepancies in his figures..his average estimate were from vehicles missing major features of my vehicle..used everything I possible could and stayed firm..never intimidated......well...............................I got $24,015!!!!! whew... Everyone fight do your research it is possible to win you do not have to settle. A tired but happy car owner _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	Guest

Whenever someone posts a problem about the valuation done, I state every time that they should be reviewed. I've seen it happen time and time again where certain options are missing (I once had an appraiser fail to add a sunroof and nav system). I've also seen problems with the comp vehicles used as comparison. This is not to say that the recent oil change or the 3 year old tires are going to change the value but many things can. Success will vary with insurance company/adjuster.	tcope Forum Expert Joined: 22 Nov 2006 Posts: 5066 Location: Salt Lake City, UT 272.53 Dollars($)
