Yes, banks can also subscribe to the NADA Black Book. My dad had them around when he worked for GMAC, which was nice. Don't know what a subscription costs, but I'm sure they're not cheap.

NADA is the only real reference out there. I always love looking at Kelley BB, as the trade in values obviously benefit the dealer as do the resale prices NADA Black Book is the one to have.

Re: [MBZ] Well, they are going to total it
For your reference, I was just paid about $6500 for my '95 E320 wagon with 110k miles by my insurance company. (Also note the "other guys" insurance wanted to pay me $5000.) I found that to be more than enough to buy the parts (original MB) and repair the car properly, so I did. Just got it back this week. Damage was to a front fender and bumper, but didn't effect the hood or inner fender. Its interesting how high the estimate was for really minor damage.

Re: [MBZ] Well, they are going to total it
Maybe you can replace it for $3500. OTOH, you had that car pretty much sorted out, and anything you buy to replace it will likely need some money and time thrown into it. This one is probably worth more than yours, and they've already posted it on CL 21 times since 9-13. http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/ctd/2656954738.html Maybe swap wheels and anything else you want with the 320, refuse the $3778, see if they'll bump it up $500 to close out the claim, and take your money. What were you going to try to sell it for?

Re: [MBZ] Well, they are going to total it
I'm sure you know the $2300 Edmund's retail is a joke. Go to a used car dealer and see what $2300 really buys. Is $3778 the car's replacement value, or the check they'll write after deductible? Depending on condition, you might be able to replace it for $3500+tax, but I'm pretty sure that would have to be a private party, not retail, deal. Where's the car now? Is it at your house? You don't want things like your wheels and new tires to start disappearing while you still own it.

[MBZ] Well, they are going to total it
I called my insurance company today and found out they are going to total our '94 E420. I'm planning on buying it back and bringing it home so I can get some parts off it. The values I found for the car are all over the map: - http://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/e-class/1994-mercedes-benz-e-class/e420-sedan-4d/?vehicleid=9458&intent=trade-in-sell&options=348026|true&mileage=124000&category=sedan&pricetype=private-party&quizconditions=1|1|0|2|0|0|0|0|1|0|0|0|0|0|0|1 Excellent $5,875 Good $5,425 Fair $4,725 - http://www.edmunds.com/mercedes-benz/e-class/1994/tmv-appraise-results.html Pricing Details for a Mercedes-Benz E-ClassSedan E420 4.2L V8 4-speed Automatic Customized True Market Value_ Prices Private Dealer Trade-In PartyRetail National Base Price $981$1,510 $2,392 Optional Equipment $8 $11 $19 Power Rear Sunshade $8 $11 $19 Color Adjustment - White$1$1 $2 Regional Adjustment - for Zip Code 87544 $-10 $-16 $-26 Mileage Adjustment - 124,000 miles$536 $536 $536 Condition Adjustment - Average $-258 $-390$-606 Total $1,258$1,652 $2,317 - http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/1994/Mercedes-Benz/E-Class/Sedan-4D-E420/Values Pricing Rough Average Clean Clean Trade-In Trade-In Trade-In Retail Base Price$ 675 $1,675 $2,525 $3,875 Mileage: 124,000 $1,262 $1,262 $1,262 $1,262 TOTAL PRICE $1,937 $2,937 $3,787 $5,137 - I would say the car was in average/fair condition. Kelly Blue Book says the highest, $4,725. Edmunds says the lowest, $1,652. NADA Average Trade-In corrected by the ratio of Clean Retail Base Price to Clean Trade-In Base Price plus Mileage [1675*(3875/2525)+1262] is $3,833. USAA is offering me $3778.03. I'm fairly certain this will raise our insurance rates.
