Insurance Estimate on My Rocco

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

you dont gotta hate em. just tell the guy you plan to call the bureau of
insurance and tell them exactly what he said. that should at least make him
nervous. better yet just ask to talk to his supervisor, keep going up the chain
until you get the results you want. you will eventually get someone who says
'yea, that guy is screwed up'.

Subject: Insurance Estimate on My Rocco


> Well the insurance adjuster came out and looked at my car.  Basically said
that it is not a "trailer queen" and that since it is not perfect on the drivers
side (some stone chips and some cracks around body kit) then he assumes that not
all of the cracking around the kit on the passenger side is from their customer.
He also mentioned that with the high mileage (203k) that it lowers the value of
the car.  He pulled out his value book, and said that the car only books at
around $1300 and the estimate he gave me for repairs was around $800.  That,
after I got an estimate from a shop for $2300, not including the Hockenheims or
alignment.  I told him if that was going to be their offer, I wasn't going to
accept it.  Even with over 20K in reciepts, 3 magazine articles and a ton of
trophies and plaques, he didn't really care.  Just kept saying that just cause
you put  $1000 motor in the car, doesn't make it $1000 better, just cause you
put $800 wheels on it....

> He suggested that I would have to go through my insurance, they would send out
their adjuster, give me an estimate and I could battle it out with my insurance,
and then let them go after GMAC for reimbursement.  Not the relatively low
hassle deal I was led to believe I was going to have.  Oh, and I need to get an
alignment soon, cause if I wait, and then try and get them to pay for tires,
they're not responsible because I now know of the problem and I would be
negligent if I didn't do anything about it.  Sounded like the guy was trying to
out legalese the law student!!!!!!!!!
