Compare Car Insurance Premiums

I had a claim against a guys insurance company for damage he caused. They came out today and did an evaluation and now the insurance estimator is saying that the vehicle needs to be totaled and that I will be offered some low ball figure because my car has prior damage which was only cosmetic and minor nothing structural at all. I know that the vehicle will be worth more than they are going to offer. But I just want a fair price for the car. They suggested that it might take some back and forth negotiations and I need to know how to prepare for that and succeed at getting something fair? Are there any angles or cards that I can play that should give me some leverage against their claims adjuster? Your help is appreciated and thank you for your answer!
Crazy John, What is a solicitor? And How can I find one? Thank you bro!
Where do I get estimates? private seller is what I need dealers wouldn’t give me $300 on a trade in because its an 89. Thanks!
Hey claims adjuster lol, I knew one of you would try to chime in. Thanks for denfending the evil insurance industry lol.
LOL the Adjuster thried to screw me and offered me $435 for ther car. Whjen I told him that their was similar cars selling for $1250 he got spooked and hung up. He called baqck and left me a message and said they were cutting a $1000 check and that I do nothing else. Just wait for my money. So the perceived value of the insurance company really doesn’t equal market value. Thanks for everyones support and help.
Just shut up already fighting saints! You were absolutely, unequivically “NO HELP” whatsoever! In fact don’t answer anymore questions here inregard to insurance. You clearly don’t have a clue of what you’re talking about!
