Re: Insurance help, Thanks to all, but I need more advice

You might want to remind them that you are not claiming any medical
expenses, you just want to be properly compensated for your car.
If you only had the car for 6 months I would ask for what I paid, or ask
them to find you a car in that condition.

Good luck,

Peter
