Okay, here is my dilemma:
I got rear-ended in my 1987 Wolfsburg Edition Jetta. The kid smashed the back end good, and there is no way it can be repaired (being a unibody design and all).
I bought the car for $1,850.00, plus an extra $400.00 for the stereo system in it--a total of $2,250.00.
Now, the insurance company is trying to say this Jetta is only worth $1,300.
Here are the specs on the Jetta:
- 179,000 miles.
- paint like new, body in perfect condition
- Momo rims that match the car
- leather seats, a little cracked, but for the most part perfectly clean.
- interior clean, no tears or rips
- 5 speed manual transmission
- new tires
- new clutch cable and linkage
- original German license plate
- new exhaust and muffler
- everything in perfect working order, one belt a little corroded, but otherwise no engine trauma.
- clean engine compartment
It looks brand new, the guy who owned it before me kept it in really good condition.
I couldn't believe how nice it looked when I got it. I put quite a few miles on it, (when I bought it, it had 172,000 miles on it).
In any case, I don't think what they're trying to offer me for the car is legitimate.
And, any way I can screw an insurance company, I will, so help me out guys!
Thanks.
