You can look at placed like KBB and NADA, but the what you really want to know is what they are selling for at dealers in your area. Find very comparable cars, get their *list* price on a *dealer* lot, and use that as your yardstick. The Insurance company has to pay you true fair market value to replace the car, not what the book says your car is worth. There's a difference. If the other driver is clearly at fault then you will find the going easier.
