Make sure you check the retail, not the trade-in, value. They're the only ones who accurately value the Westies. If they could be had for the values in the NADA and other books, I'd buy a newer one myself! >> yes, but most insurance companies dont go by KBB. the value of my '84 audi (totalled last month) was higher in KBB than any other (such as NADA or redbook) but the insurance company (state farm) doesnt "acknowlege" KBB values. Most insurance companies just go by NADA, wich has cheaper values of vehicles, so they can pay out less. in my case - the difference of my car's value from KBB and NADA was almost $1000!!! chris |
