insurance company hell with 4kq

[Nathan Ray]

Just thought I would give an update to everybody on what happened with my 
Quattro.  In june a woman turned in front of me at a light and banged up the 
front of my 4kq.  Her insurance company, State Farm, accepted liability for 
the accident and then tried to screw me over.  They initially offered me 
about $1800 for the car which was not satasfactory considering all of the 
work I had put into it.  The claim wasn't finally resolved until a couple of 
weeks ago.  It was totaled, which is a major pita because WA DOL revoked the 
registration on it and I now have to make an appointment to have it 
reinspected by the WSP, their hours are like 10am-3pm monday to thursday, 
during which time I am always in class.  I spent hours of reasearch online 
finding other quattros for sale with prices that were high enough to make 
mine look more valuable.  Once I compiled all of this and sent it to state 
farm it took them a month to get back to me because the claims adjuster went 
on vacation.  In the end I got almost $2400 for the car, which is reasonable 
considering that I bought it a year ago for $1100 and put about $800 in 
parts into it.  State farm did not give the slightest dam about any of the 
reciepts that I had for parts.  This turned out to be one of the biggest 
hassle in my whole life, and finding another quattro has been tough.
