What they can and must do is one of A. Pay for repairs to covered damage, or B. Pay for the vehicle at the agreed price. That agreed price is the cost of a comparable car | |

Look for cars online of similar age, quality, equipment, etc. to yours and use them to argue for a higher price. You can almost invariable get a significant increase in payout by doing this. | |
