Garage
After hearing some nightmare stories about low ball offers I had saved about 10 screen shots of local cars and their asking prices.
I called and asked for a copy of the appraisal report and the value of the repairs. The guy handling my claim told me the damage was about $8k and that most vehicles are written off if the repairs estimate exceeds 80 percent of the wholesale value.
Maybe because I phoned and asked questions they were more forthcoming with a decent offer right away? I don't know.
