      You can file a complaint with the State Dept of Ins, and you always have the right to go to appraisal if the value is disputed. Most states have guidelines on the methodology used for valuing cars(including what is required for comps) and CCC or whomever State Farm uses adheres to that methodology, making sure they have your options correct is critical and aligning on condition is critical. Comp options should be listed on the valuation sheet, and if you dispute the accuracy, you could always check the Monroney label or ask them to do so. Comps are also based on the asking the price, not the take price so there is a cushion, especially now that the market is correcting. They should also always be willing to pay the undisputed amount of the claim minus the estimate for salvage value(proquote) even when there is a dispute.

      @@LTG1930 CCC is such a scam. They deducted value from my car because it was dirty sitting in a wrecker's yard and not freshly detailed and ready for sale. Yah. Maybe because it was just in an accident and I don't have access to it. I had a MT which every single listing was thousands more, refused to use those comps and then deducted money for not having the auto 'option'. They made gross assumptions about comp listings conditions, sight unseen, and that I was a mater negotiator and would be able to talk town the rock bottom price. I did file a complain with the state dept of insurance and they did nothing. Basically said they don't get involved in value discussions. If you don't have extra cars they're just hoping to stall you until you cave. In the future I'll probably just be referring total losses to a lawyer or specialist. I'd rather lose money paying them than giving into the insurance company trying to strong arm me.

Was one generation old, but was half the price of new. We love it. Can comfortably sit 7 adults and all their bags in the back. I saw you’re looking for a third row. Would highly recommend it.

    Damnit! Sadly this is why people are straying away from SRT's now, because they are so easy to steal and are stolen SO OFTEN. It's such a shame really
    Soooo what wifey needs now is an Escalade V 🤪🤪🤪 jk jk I know those are a small fortune, BUUUUTTT it would be sick!
    What you should look into is a nice Lexus LX570 or GX460!!! My friend's mom has one and it's a great SUV! I'm a bit of a Toyota/Lexus nerd though and that's all I really enjoy owning lol! My mom always had crappy cars her entire life, and when I was in the position to get her something nice, I did! I got her a 2014 4Runner Limited with 99k miles on it for $20k. I believe it has around 160k miles now, and other than an oil leak that just recently developed in the last couple of months she's only had to do regular maintenance to it! Such a blessing to be able to do that for her, and a big relief off of not only my brother and I's shoulders (as we were the ones to have to fix her clunkers and rescue her), but also a big relief from my mom's shoulders knowing she has a safe and reliable car to get her around and take trips in! Oh, and it also helps that 4 or 5 years later it's still worth $18-20k with 160k miles on it 😅

    I had State Farm for like 2 or 3 years. Every year they had a rate increase that was supposedly “nationwide” with every insurance company. My last straw was that they sent another one of those emails saying it was increasing again, but this time, my monthly payment was going to be $100 more a month when I’ve never made a claim with them besides a roadside repair

These people don't care what kind of emotional toll it takes on a person. They are only out to make quick money. I only mentioned the possibility of keeping it for a couple of reasons, 1, if your wife really loved the vehicle, there are ways to provide security for it so it doesn't happen again, though nothing will stop someone from stealing something if they want it and 2, it would make a great content vehicle. If you were to go though the damage they did, show it and then make vids on how you plan to fix it. I would certainly watch it.

    We have a serious problem in this country, more so here in Florida, with auto insurance. Specifically in Florida we have an untenable spread in coverage between the responsible and irresponsible driver. Specifically, the irresponsible have the minimum coverages: $10/10k. The responsible have at least $100k/$250k. So when my wife was recently rear ended on 95S, and the repair for her electric Audi was over $10k, it triggered my under-insured coverage and therefore my deductible. Furthermore, any loss in value from the accident, which they call a diminution claim, is not possible. So I am out my deductible and my wife's car now has a clouded title according to carfax. The insured in this case walks away (unless I want to pursue action and waste time trying to squeeze blood out of a rock). Something has to change. In your instance, gap coverage may have helped, but it still doesn't fix the issue: you are purchasing peace of mind, and you get none.

      We test drove an ST when we were shopping the Durango. Third row wasn't up to snuff for our needs (three kids).

      The transverse 3.5L has a DUMB water pump design. WHEN it fails or needs servicing, it's an engine out job. If it fails, it can dump coolant into your oiling system. Taurus' were the same way too.

      Explorer NO!!!!
      They are nice looking and driving but that's where it ends. When they break, its bad. They break a whole lot!
