My 90GL was totaled two weeks ago. Mint condition. All records since day
one. Here're a current letter from my attorney for your review.

Dear Ms. Insurance adjuster:
I have passed your latest numbers on to my client. He was less than
happy. It is his position that finding a substantially similar
replacement vehicle will cost far in excess of your offer. Not knowing
the answer, I did a little research on Auto Trader. There are no local
vehicles which are even comparable. However, a no limits search pulled
up a number of vehicles. I am attaching copies of the adds for the
vehicles I found. As you will note, the prices range from $14,500 to
$4,000. My client would be willing to accept an average of $7,970 as
payment for his loss. Please advise at your earliest convenience.....

I don't expect to get the above amount but I'll get something better. A
Vanagon is a nitch market auto. You can't compare it to a Ford, Plymouth
etc.. when adjusting a claim. Like it or not. I explained the head
rebuilding, A/C replacement, Auto rebuilding, brad new ties the day of
the accident (Yokohama).... They have to pay fait market replacement,
including transportation if there aren't many in your area...

Good luck...
Jim
