Just following up on this. After the appraisers put their heads together,
the payout was over 14k. It was a really nice example with under 100k.

A common car is easy to total, a “rare” car is not. When the E300D got smacked
USAA could not find a local enough comparable, and had to do a nationwide
search. In 2013 there fewer than four examples to be had and the lowest was
$9800.

I must say that they did not do this when they evaluated
my Dodge truck. 20yo, and still assessed at $20k. Of course,

that price.
One assessor I dealt with in the past noted that he was expecting

Hi All,
I need an independent appraiser to assess my e420. It got smashed and USAA
is lowballing me, as expected, so I am contesting the value. I already sent
them comps for 15,500, 19,000 and 38,000, but apparently that is not good
