SiS damge/repair/insurance valuation follow-up Posted by nicknick [Email] ![]() ![]() |
So, after someone had backed into the side of the recently finished SiS, i thought i may have a battle on my hands regarding valuation, etc. Took it to a local reputable body shop, and including a new door (the impact bar was slightly bent) and rear SPG body panel ($500!), the quote came to $4500!!!
The other driver was insured with Pemco. They have been fantastic to deal with, very understanding and responsive. I am truely impressed! I sent them some 'before' pics, my write up on the repairs/resto, and several online comments on the SiS. I even included the recent listing in Saabnet classifieds of one in FL for $12k.
The adjuster called me back this morning. He said that purely considering the SPG body panels, wheels, Leather, and being a convertible, it was $7500. If the mileage was considered as low, it could be $9600! This is without specific reference to it being an SiS.
Sooo, they offered to cash me out for the quote price, which i accepted. It will give me some time to consider exactly how i want to deal with the repair.And the car won't have a salvage title!
Thanks to all who offered their suggestions.
