So, Progressive totaled my 4R without so much as looking at it. It was totaled for two reasons: 1. condition is no-start 2. vehicle is more than 10 years old.

My thread has more detail, but here's my dilemma... I've never had a vehicle "totaled" in the past, so I'm not sure how this is all going to play out. Some people have told me to research and print ads for similar model/year vehicles to support my argument for an increased settlement. That sounds like good advice.... Any other suggestions?
Second: When a vehicle is totaled, they take your deductible plus the salvage value out of the settlement amount, right? If so, what do you think a typical 3rd gen 4r would fetch at salvage auction? Mine is a 98, 5spd, sunroof, leather, 139k.
Third: anything else I should be paying attention to or researching before the estimator comes knocking on my door?
