Driving home from work the other day in my 325IX I got t-boned by a snow plow. Plow driver was at total fault even though he lied about the accident and tried to blame me. He ran through a yield sign when I had the right of way. I had no signs at all. Anyway the car is totaled and I'm pissed and sad at losing my car.
Now here's my problem, as many of you have probably guessed, I think the insurance company is going to lowball me on the payoff. On a side note as of yesterday, 4 days after the accident, the city had not reported the accident to their insurance company. I called my ins. co., their ins. co. , the body shop, picked up the police report and talked to a lawyer.
So what I need is proof of what these cars are worth. Mine was an 88 IX with 150,000 miles. I bought it from the original owner less than a year ago. I got all maintenance records,two sets of wheels, tool kit in trunk was intact,fresh $5800 paint job with receipts,etc. The car was like brand new until Sunday. I paid $7000 for it and it was worth every penny. I didn't really even haggle with the guy once I saw the car.
I've been looking for ads for cars of equal value to show the ins co but these are hard to come by. It took years for me to find the one I wanted. So if I could get some bills of sale for similar cars, for sale ads, and letters or whatever that shows what people pay for these it would be much appreciated.
If any of you have this stuff that you wouldn't mind sending to me I would be in your dept.
