I'd ask her what kind of shape it was in.
I don't think your going to get much of a car today for $5,500.
Then i'd get a print out of TR4's listed in Hemmings, Auto Trader, and some
auctions: and show her those prices.
I bought a wreck awhile back and the owner showed his insurance company
similar stuff and they ended up paying him $17,500.
Granted it was in pretty good shape before the accident, but definately not
immaculate.
