Guys,
Some of you may remember I posted about getting sideswiped last week by a flatbed tractor trailer.
Sideswiped
Well, I got a call from the insurance co this morning and the bad news is that they're going to total the car.
Now they're offering me what they think is fair market value (of a replacement in that vintage) for the car. Is there any way I can determine of this "fair value" is fair to me too in my market? I don't really believe KBB values as they're too high to me IMHO. I see KBB as a tool dealers use to tell customers they're getting a good deal on whatever car they're selling.
Not looking forward to car shopping again since I just bought the 3 months ago and I thought I was set for at least a few years! The engine still runs great. No problems with the tranny! Got 34mpg for the most part. No problems with the suspension and steering (until it got hit
). Terrible to see a good car junked because of the accident.
Sigh....
