W. - Sorry, this is off the thread, but had to respond. State Farm
offered me $2000 less than my loan payoff for my '01 Lumina last fall,
when I was T-boned by a pickup and the car totalled. I looked at every
web site I could find for valuation of the car and came up with an
average value nearer to the payoff, presented the data to the person
handling the case, and got all of my money. The moral - don't let them
tell you what THEY think your car is worth - you'll loose. Push it a
bit and you may come out better. Good Luck!

I just showed this to Becky. She nodded and said that she had already done
that very thing. She showed me the printouts of the valuations from three
different sites.....$470, $1500, and $3410.

You're right.......it pays to shop around.

Thanks.
