I had an 86' 8v Golf...paid $2175 for it in 98' , got totaled 2years late=
r,  insurance originally offer me $1,300.  Other drivers fault,  I said h=
ell no to that....The adjuster was about to go on vacation with his famil=
y, and i was the loose end he had to tie up and he said he would work wit=
h me, i did my own research and looked up Golfs and GTIs in the Denver po=
st that matched mine.  Yeah Baby, showed him my proof and cut me a check =
for $2,900...and bought the car back for 75 bucks!

Moral of the story is do a little homework with classified adds and what =
not and just be firm about it, but not too firm as to come across as an a=
sshole.  - worked for me =20

its my expereince with ins companys that if they total the vehicle, the b=
uy =20
back is 10% of the Settlement. Example; I had a 82 Dodge Truck (paid $700=
) =20
that was totaled by the ins in a wreck (others drivers fault), the ins =20
totaled it for $2000.00 (wohoo) and I bought my truck back for $200.00. O=
ut =20
of several different wrecks, the ins company were standard at 10% salvage=
. =20
Hope this gives you a lil help with what lays ahead with the adjusters.
