[200q20v] Proving value of a nice 200

Guys,

I'm starting to prepare some documentation in preparation for an anticipated fight over the value of my (now crunched) 200.  I was wondering if any of you could help out in the following areas:

1) Recent vehicle transactions.. If you've bought or sold (or totaled) one of these in the last few months, if you could let me know the price of the transaction, and any details about the vehicle (mileage, condition, parts/upgrades,  options (IE sport vs. comfort seats)...)...

2)  Is there anyone can classify themselves as an expert in the subject of the value of these cars.. I mean I know there are a lot of experts, but someone who would be able to convince my insurance company of the validity of their opinion?  I was thinking some sort of "appraisal" from an expert might help..

3) Any other data that anyone knows of that I could present to back up my claim..

Thanks in advance,
Keith
