Print up the ads for those overpriced ones and use them to convince the company that it's worth more. Maybe try and pull up ads from a more populated area like Miami or something where the value may be a little higher. Good luck with it

i work insurance, it doesn't work like that sadly. You can reject the offer the company gives you, and certainly print out other similar vehicles with the same mileage, year, etc and try to get more money. They will require they are within a certain mileage from your home zip code, 200 miles for the company I work for. By the looks of the integra, I would say it will most definitely be totalled out.

Well miami ain't too far away, but it's all up to the company. It helped me out when I had my accident, it's certainly worth a shot. Do you work for one of the mainstream companies or a smaller one?

If they really dick you over due to book value, after you get your next vehicle make sure to talk to your agent about specifying a stated value for your car.

With collectables, hot rods and exotics you really need to do this so you don't have the insurance company try to dick you over by saying your 69 camaro or turbo dropped honda is worth $2000 + Parts.

It protects you times like this and sometimes only costs a few dollars more a month than having to deal with to a mystery replacement cost for your vehicle down the road when you finally need it. Also boosts up the repair costs they will cover before totalling you out.

Hey everyone, for all that wanted to know the outcome

The car was totaled, they offered a pretty good price on the car.
All in all, I got more than I bought the car for
but that car had a very solid motor in it
and im gonna miss it =\ but hopefully I can find another solid car.

Thanks for all the help
