Good evening,
Yes the tittle says it all. My son's 01 XJ was totaled last week. Some unlicensed driver failed to yield the ROW and my son had no time to react and T-Boned the car. Fortunately he and my other son were wearing their seat belts and the 17 year old air bags did their jobs. Both boys walked away - Praise God!!
Now I get to spend the next week or so arguing with the other drivers insurance company on replacement cost. They have given me a rental for the time being and have agreed it was their liability and will pay for the Jeep and any medical bills. The XJ was for the most part completely stock and I have looked at it's value on KBB. However, KBB is way lower than the "Fair Market Value" for my Jeep. For me to find another XJ comparable to this last one would be at least double the cost.
Does anyone have any experience in dealing with an insurance company like this? What recourse do I have to get the true cost of this Jeep so I can go get another one Tax/Title/Tag included?
