With usaa, you are kind of hosed unfortunately. They use some outfit called clear channel (?) that does market research on auction prices, and they offer you average auction price. It is completely out of line with ebay and nada values. I have tried to work an agreed value policy with them, and they have no such thing. The adjuster will come by and assess condition of your car, so be sure to be there for that. If he says it is in great shape then at least you have a good starting point for discussing it further. But good luck getting usaa to agree to a nada value. Nada for a w123 wagon is actually very close to real market, so that might be worth a look for your 124.
