Thanks to suggestions from my brothers here on SVTP, I picked up a 2006 E55 AMG last fall as my new daily. For the past 8 months it has been rock solid and a great car, absolutely my best daily driver to date.
Sadly, a 2006 Tacoma pushed her shit in last week, and I am afraid she will be totaled. I am totally fine thankfully. The e55 took it like a tank.
Her insurance has accepted full liability for the accident and will be inspecting this car this week, they are 95% sure it will be totaled.
My question is this, how do i get the right money for the car? KBB says its worth around $10,500, but there is literally only 3-4 others for sale (none with as many options and as new as mine) in a 250 mile radius, and they are all $15k plus? How do I show that this is a rare car that I can't just walk down the street and replace?
Looking for opinions from people who have been in this position before. Her insurance is state farm for what its worth. Thanks!
