Help with insurance claim

[Synergy]

I figured it wouldn't hurt to make a thread to get some extra info about this situation. Unfourtantely, I totaled my yellow 2005 Viper w/ 17,000 miles on the clock a few weeks ago. The car was MINT. No accidents, paint work, or damage of any kind. It also had about $3,500 worth of modifications including a corsa exhaust, k&n air intake, eibach lowering springs and other accesories through out the vehicle. My question is, what is the true value of the car?

Hanover is the insurance company that I deal with. They finally gave me a price earlier of $49,800 without taking into consideration of any of the mods that were on the car. I thought it would go for more considering what KBB and NADA has the car listed for. I mentioned that the car did have some non standard options and they asked for me to fax them reicepts. Only problem is, I only have the reciept for the corsa exhaust. I went on partsrack.com and printed out the info about the other parts but Im not sure if they will accept this as official documents. Any help will be great! Thanks...

they allways low ball you at first, and compare yours with one they find for sale with miles- hang tight and make them buck up alittle more,but you will need real reciepts for those parts

I hate to hear about your loss.
Honestly, for what these cars are actually selling for right now, $50k is a damn good starting offer from the insurance company!

Andrew, in Florida has his in the classifieds. Same mileage and condition as yours for exactly the same price. Maybe that is where the insurance company got your offer.

I spoke with Chuck yesterday and JonB earlier and both made a few points that I will bring up when speaking with the insurance company. Going to speak with Hanover tomorrow to see if they agree on what they advised me to say. Thanks again to Chuck and Jon!!!

Just found out that there was another accident last night that was similar to mine which left one dead from what I understand. Talk about luck on my end!!!

Hmmm... 8 days.

It was my first Viper. I wasn't familar with the car yet and obviously didn't help that the factory tires were still on. Whatever it was, I lived to laugh about it!
