Well, USAA Casualty Company (from Texas, like Enron!)
has set the value for the totaled 1990 syncro westy in
showroom condition with 35k miles at $9,500!  This is
based on their "independent market research company."

It makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over to know that
they are looking out for my friend's best interest, and
that our capable government allows this kind of rip off
to happen thousands of times a day because the
insurance industry has them bought and sold with
gazillions in campaign contributions.  Wake up,
America!

The battle will begin in earnest when I get their
"offer" in writing.  Thanks to fellow listees, we are
well armed and are going to blow them out of the water
with our own market survey of roughly 20 recent sales
and two professional appraisals.

Stay tuned.

And if you haven't sent in the stats on your recent
purchase/sale of a syncro westy, please do.  All of the
results will be posted on syncro.org, with names
removed for confidentiality (which is assured).
