The ACV (Actual Cash Value) in your market area. Simple way would be to run your vehicle through NADA's website. Then use a website like Autotrader or Cars.com to see what the selling price of comprable vehicles are in your area. This should give a ballpark amount.

Either do what Trench suggested or give me the state you are in, mileage, ALL options, and ANY prior UNrepaired damage.

The insurance company would pay the actual cash value of your car which depends on the following factors:
1. The make, model, year and the mileage of your car.
2. The present value of your car. You can find that out by going through the Blue book or NADA guide estimate.
3. The condition of your car before the accident.
4. Compare with the other vehicles sold in your area to determine the fair price.
5. To the base value add the value of any improvement or enhancement that you have added to your car.
6. Get in touch with a claim adjuster to claim a proper or higher settlement.
