Hi all,

Thought I'd post this question here, as some of you may have dealt with a similar situation. My son's 1991 Isuzu Stylus was recently totaled in an accident. It is not covered by collision insurance, but after some wrangling, GEICO, the other driver's insurance company, has finally admitted their insured was at fault, and said an adjuster would contact us shortly.

With 149,000 miles on it, the NADA web site listed low, average and high retail values as $1,200, $1,975, and $2,525 respectively.

Kelly Blue Book had radically lower values of $500 for trade in and $1,040 for private party sale, assuming "good" condition.

So, my question is how much should I expect to get from the insurance co?

TIA, John Flaherty Portland, Maine '84 GL
