Allan- What did they estimate the repair costs to be? When I got in my accident in my '90 GL, they (expectedly) took the same route. Repairs were at about 5 grand, and their initial value estimate was nowhere close. Seemed hopeless, but I did a little bit of homework and won. Bottom line is this - regardless of which route you take: Don't take the first offer! Bear in mind that in ANY insurance activity, an "AGENT" represents the *insurer* - NOT the *insured*. You can do better! Trust me. Blackbeard is about a week away from 260,000 miles and was at 250,000 at the time of the accident. If you need ANY help or advice, please let me know!
