Oregon folks HELP: Who bought this car in Wilsonville?

[garya]

Hi Oregon 2002ers!

 

Please let me know if you or someone you know bought this vehicle.  

The drunk #@%hole that ran into my parked car's insurance company is using this vehicle as a comparison for valuation.  They said the car in the ad is worth $7,100... I don't buy it for a minute. 

 

PLEASE.. if you can help me prove this car is worth what it ACTUALLY sold for... I would be forever in your debt!!!  You can PM me if you prefer!

 

The insurance company's initial offer was to total the car and give me $6400.  Here's the story

Years back had a Suburban stolen, I gave them 32 pages of comps. I got a fair value.

It was Peter Salzman’s car, I think he told me it went to Arizona. He owns Peters Hobby Shop

Initial offers are sometimes super low so they can see if you will just accept or fight.

Thanks Y'all.... I'm putting together a TON of information.. and will continue fighting until I get a fair price.

I could swear I saw that car on Ebay motors last year for like 15-17K.  But since they only give 60 days history I can't find it.  But I'm 99% sure it sold on eBay or BAT.

USAA tried to give me 1,500 for my 1602 some 5 years ago. Comps at the time we’re about 6-7k. After a month or two they came up to 4K. It pisssd me off and I told them they could talk to my lawyer after a few other warm words. An hour later they came back to me with a reasonable price.

Unfortunately this is how they work. Most people need the money for a new car so they can’t wait so they take lowball offers. Insurance companies win. I have NEVER heard of someone fighting the insurance company and losing if they have the research to back up their numbers. Also receipts and documentation for all your upgrades, mods and repairs won’t hurt.  I’m sure it happens but everyone I know has fought and then they get the call with a reasonable offer.

The silver car sold for over $18k!

Mmmm.... maybe a few faq'ers will decide to put their cars on craigslist this week and post the link, just in case anyone is interested.  ;-)

Insurance paid me $24k for a beat up old 1600 I paid $1500 for about a year earlier. 

 

 

The key is to know how to fight the insurance companies. I was able to settle in under 3 weeks.
