Message	Insurance companies always lowball, that's standard procedure. Kenn was offered like 7k for his 90 TT with 58k miles, I believe. He showed them other cars that were similar, selling for $15k+, and his insurance company eventually gave him $13,000. My Mustang, they originally offered $2900... I worked it up to $6200 by the time all was said and done.
