Sadly, I must second this. We recently lost TheRedCar in a tragic
accident, and in addition to much other grief was the relatively
minor matter that Allstate had no idea how to set the value of
the car. Their service company in Chicago which supplies prices
of recent transactions of similar cars proved incompetent at the
most basic research, requiring much argument, waving of receipts,
etc. before a settlement was reached.
My question is: Could someone who has obtained a professional
appraisal to avoid just such a fiasco please tell us:
1) Where you found the appraiser -- I tried the Yellow Pages but
had difficulty locating one who did _cars_.
2) What they charged, or what their fee structure is, if any.
3) Who they are! I think such a list would be a handy FAQ.
