I'm geting ready to fight with insurance and the USG over the value of my 04D2. Long story short, a 7ton truck ran into my right rear 1/4 panel here at Lejeune. I have a feeling that the cost of the repairs will result in it being totaled out.
Looking at the KBB value, i might get 7k. Looking at comparable D2's on the market it is closer to $10-15K. Is it a plausible position to try to get the insurance (who will be billing the USG) for a higher value than what KBB, or whomever, will have? If so, what resources can i use?
On another note, try to avoid getting into an accident with a USG vehicle, especially on a federal installation. I wasn't able to get a copy of my accident report from the MP who investigated the accident, I have to submit a FOIA request to get it, which can take 20 days to get. After that, I have to file a TORT request to get reimbursed for the costs of repair.... PITA.
Thanks,
Richard
