Subject:Insurance value (NVC)

Hi all,

Thought I'd post this question here, as some of you may have dealt with a
similar situation. My son's 1991 Isuzu Stylus was recently totaled in an
accident. It is not covered by collision insurance, but after some
wrangling, GEICO, the other driver's insurance company, has finally admitted
their insured was at fault, and said an adjuster would contact us shortly.

With 149,000 miles on it, the NADA web site listed low, average and high
retail values as $1,200, $1,975, and $2,525 respectively.

Kelly Blue Book had radically lower values of $500 for trade in and $1,040
for private party sale, assuming "good" condition.

So, my question is how much should I expect to get from the insurance co?

TIA,
