Anyone that knows how research cars help me out please. Im looking to find the most value for a 99 EX Civic coupe. I crashed mine and insurance wants to low ball me. If you can find autotrader, craigslist, or anything listing that shows that my car has value please hit me up. 786-537-431.
My 99 ex was green, manual, had 154k miles and was in excellent body condition, no rust, all 4 tires matched etc. it met KBB standards. Im in Miami, FL so if yall have any info id greatly appreciate it. f**king hate insurance companies .....

the insurrance compay is going to give you what it booked at regardless of what you tell them

ask them if they go off of KBB or NADA

Well you insurance co. is supposed to give you fair market value for you car, they either use Kelly blue book or black book values to determine that, plus an adjuster will come out & look at all the current features to bump up or down the value, so google Kelly blue book & black book, most insurance co. will try to give you more so you can move up a year or two newer than you have now but I don't know what insurance co. you have, are you fully covered? Was the crash your fault?

Ive got travelers at the moment, full coverage. there were three cars, front car stopped for no reason what so ever in the middle of 45mph traffic, 2nd car slammed him, shut his car off, no brake lights or hazards and i hit the third. they made two accident reports, one for 1st and 2nd, then 2nd and me. no tickets so idk if theyre calling anyone at fault (thank god my stepdad is a cop). KBB is putting me about 4300, and nada is about the same. its got aftermarket stuff so im going to claim it tomorrow and put back the OEM parts. adjuster took about 20 minutes to go through and was out the door ASAP so theyre sure its getting scrapped. estimate at 3800$ of repairs.what a horrible day :(

it happens to the best of us. I'd replace everything with the original parts, take the check, sell the aftermarket parts, and buy something sweet. Done deal.
