Hi Guys and Gals I need your help in getting the highest value for my totaled P85D.
Just over 2 weeks ago I was hit by an uninsured driver and my insurance company wants to total my car.
The repair estimate came in at $43.6k.
They provided me with a market valuation report created by CCC Information Services. But it has a ton of flaws in it that lowers the value of my car.
Without checking with me, they list my car as NOT having Pano Roof, Tech Package with Autopilot, Next Gen Seats and others. I got that cleared up by sending the claims adjustor my vehicle configuration sheet so now I am waiting for a new report.
In preparation of the new report, I have been going over the old one with a fine tooth comb.
The old report states they will first search for comparables in my zip code (San Jose CA). The 3 comps they provided are from a private owner in Columbus GA, a used car lot in Highland Park IL and an Audi dealership in Mission Viejo CA.
Shouldn't I want them to limit their search to the high priced SF Bay Area?
Can I insist they not use comps from private owners especially ones that don't list
a VIN?
There is little to no way of confirming they own a comparable car, the condition it is in or if they even have a car to sell.
I noticed they are depreciating options at different rates.
Next Gen seats they are subtracting 43% of its original value. Tech Package w/Autopilot 53%, Smart Air Suspension 60%.
Shouldn't options be depreciated at the same rate?
The report uses naming conventions from sellers ads that don't match the names from Tesla.
I'm being dinged for not having parking sensors, leather seats, premium interior package, premium interior lighting, performance leather and extended napa leather.
I am confident I can prove they should not ding me for the parking sensors and leather seats since my car has Autopilot and Next Gen Seats, but I'm not sure about the other items.
Does anybody have a list of options that were originally available for P85Ds?
I'm trying to find out those "other items" were included in the base price, bundled in some package or just poor wording on the sellers part and I should not be dinged for it.
Thanks,
Russell
