I love snow! My car is totaled What do I do now?

KBB has my 2003 corolla, because of high miles, at 6300 they offered me 5800. They said my panel just in front of the rear wheels have a nice crease/dent. They said it wasn't from this accident. There was no damage to my car before the accident. It has been towed twice since then and has been out of my hands for over 2 weeks now. The only 2003 corollas i can find are around 7495 to 7999. Everything I have read said I am suppose to get replacement cost. Which is what it would cost to purchase another 2003 corolla. What a pain in the arse this is becoming.

Provide them with the specific vehicles you are looking at for the comparables. They are also supposed to provide you with those details if you request them.

I would not accept this from them, especially if that really was not there before the accident. I would go look at it and see if you can tell where it actually came from.

I would not accept the $5800 either, if you really can't find a comparable car with same miles for what they are offering you. I would ask them to show you some cars they found and based their price off.

Sounds like a big pain in the #%$.....

It is a big pain in the a*s. They have no vehicles they could find with my mileage or the price they said they would give me. While I was on the phone with them they went on the c list and said I should be able to find a car from a private seller for $5800. That is all they will offer. It is Like I am trading in my vehicle or something. They are talking to me like they are doing me a big favor. Like I should be happy to get any money at all from them. Yet it is their insured party that ran into me and totaled my car.

You'd be hard pressed to find one on C-List for that. I justsearched with 5800 as a maximum price and only 1 came up....nearly 2 weeks old.

They are only off the hook if you let them.

Where is your agent in all this? He should be able to give you better advice than we can here.

Thanks,

Yeah exactly Problem is I am working with the other drivers company. I am going to turn them down I think and work with my company instead and see what I can get. I went with the other company because I don't have rental car reimbursement on my policy. The only way I could get a car is through the other company. Thanks again to all who have had input. This has been a major pain in the arse.
