insurance company hell with 4kq

[mike]

Nate

Whilst I don’t think I have ever defended an insurance
company before as many have had horrific experiences
with them.....

You buy a car for $1100, a year later it gets written
off and they offer you $1800 and you get to keep the
car. Sounds very reasonable to me.

You then spend hours selectively looking for high
asking price cars, send that info to them and they up
the offer to $2400. Sounds very very reasonable to me.

Don’t quite see where they tried to screw you, if
anything the selective looking for high asking price
cars makes the screwing the other way round but hey
it’s only an insurance company
