Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Actual Cash Value

I did throw that out there, and they did add the 6% tax on top of their offer. She is going to resubmit it with some of the options they missed. I did give her the HP and torque differences between the GLT turbo and the T5.

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Actual Cash Value

That looks gorgeous, I might just check it out. My wife wants us to consider a new car since our Jeep is 6 years old and has 120k miles on it. I'm still going to argue the value and safety of the older volvo cars and the fact we don't want a car payment for another 5 years.

I got the comp list this ...

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Actual Cash Value

Correct, my insurance company low balled me and compared my cars to non-turbo S70s. The other driver's insurance offered me more but has not sent me the paperwork with the comparable cars yet.

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Actual Cash Value

1998, he said the rear main, turbo return line, engine mounts, and front drive shafts were done by a garage, the rest he did himself. I know most people on this site do these repairs on their own so I don't have an issue with that and he has receipts for all the parts.

My other option is to pocket ...

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Actual Cash Value

Well the other driver's insurance has now accepted full liability and they offered me more around what I was figuring I would get and I don't have to pay my deductible which seems like a much more fair deal. I saw a V70-R in that range about 150 miles away I'll see if he'll lower the price to what I ...

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Looking to replace a totaled car

And that quickly everything changes. The other driver's insurance picked up 100% liability, will pay for my rental car for 10 days, replace the kids seats, and are giving me $3600 for the car. My budget just increased

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Looking to replace a totaled car

The insurance initial offer came in at $2700 but they were comparing my V70 T5 to base S70 or S70 GLTs. I'm hoping to get the settlement offer up but I'm not too hopeful. After my deductible it looks like my budget is 2300-2500.

I guess it comes down to a 95 850 GLT w/ 125,000 miles and a stick or ...

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Actual Cash Value

The insurance company actual cash value came in at $2713 but when I spoke to them on the phone all the comparable were 1998-1999 S70s. When I said those cars are all sedans and not wagons she said that she could go back to the company and do a wider search but there is a chance my settlement could ...

Re: 1998 V70 T5 - Looking to replace a totaled car

Got the official word that the 98 V70 T5 is a total loss. Their initial offer was $2700, I guess that's the value they compared the cost of repair to. I'll get an official offer Monday but at least I know what the floor is. I have my receipts from the brake job, engine tune up, and other small ...
