Check out your state's guidelines on this. My son was hit (other driver's fault) while driving our 84 300D turbo. Their insurance co. lowballed us on the appraisal. I researched and eventually got them to do a different appraisal that gave us fair value.
As another stated the appraisal should be based on comparable recent sales. Recent restoration costs can also be used as evidence with a car of this age. Good luck!

I anticipate the insurance will total it and come in with a low ball offer. It has 300,000 mile on it and is in very good condition, new paint, suspension, rear end, half shafts, various parts and pieces. What is the best way to establish value? Thanks in advance, Mike Michael E.
