They are valuing the vehicle based on $9,400.00 NADA value but when I go online and look for this particular vehicle on the retail market it shows starting retail value at $11,000+. When I mention this to the adjuster he starts getting into tread depth and dirty carpet.


The adjuster is right on this one. You are comparing reconditioned cars at lots to your car which has not been reconditioned. Also you are listing what dealers are asking for cars, not what they are selling for. Those are two very different numbers.

Dealers like CarMax are no haggle, so when comparing prices they are more apples to apples. They typically sell cars in good condition, lower mileage, clean titles and privately owned which is like my car.

Request a copy of NADA report the adjuster is referring to. Make sure it includes alms your features(leather, after market stereo etc) and accurate mileage for your vehicle.
