I hear this a lot, but have to say that when our 2002 F150 was totaled a couple of years ago, the first offer was quite fair, and in fact was MORE than what I had paid for it the year prior. So either I got a great deal initially, or they were just not playing the low-ball game. With something that new, though, the market value is pretty easy to determine. When you are talking about a 20 year old car it's a lot less likely that a "blue book" price is going to apply to a particular specimen.
