Haven't been back yet but can see from videos that car is gone. Looks like rear of car may still be there.

I need to start pulling together support documentation for a valuation.

Was a 2004 TT Cab, 60k, in perfect condition including receipts to show new tires 6 months ago, major service, new clutch in 2015.

Any help on the best places to look for me to support a good valuation would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

Sorry man.

 

Find a comparable car for sale with a fat price tag on it.

 

Yep that's what I'm doing. Still a bit hard. Prices are very wide and I have a stack of recent receipts to support a high value.

 

I feel for you. Almost lost both of mine and the boat.

Hold your ground, don't let them pay you KBB prices. Document the actual sale prices that have been happening. I think that someone with a car dealers license may have access to more actual sold prices.

 

Wait for them to make an offer. It may be around what you're thinking. They know these are desirable cars.

I'm also an appraiser. Very busy right now, but message me if I can help.

 

Receipts don't really add to value from adjustment standpoint. Insurance will consider receipts for recent maintenance, (i.e. tires). Otherwise the documentation should be there to support that it was excellent shape versus average as they have nothing to look at if it was burned totally.

 

You're lucky if that's the most valuable thing you lost! Thousands lost most everything, including lots of irreplaceables. Your car can be replaced pretty easily. I still feel bad for you.

 

Again certain ones do. Mainly showing recent maintenance. No one cares if yo have a receipt for a stereo or upgraded wheels/tires is what I'm getting at. This is what I see from 1st hand experience.

 

Very true. It's still very hard I'm sure.

 

Unfortunately we lost everything on the property.

Everything burned to the ground, not even a chimney left from what I can see from videos.

Car was in the garage and I can see the car in the video so clearly garage burned down as well.

Thankfully we weren't there or we easily could have been killed.

The street looks like a war zone.

 

Sorry for the loss, I can only imagine how devastating it can be, having had a fire inside my home with lots of destruction.

 

Sorry to hear . Would the normal house insurance for basics cover your car ?

 

No, that's why you have car insurance.

 

I'm disappointed this thread didn't end in 9/11 conspiracy theories like the one on Rennlsit did.
