IML: Valuations

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jack,
I'm sorry to hear of your experience. I purchased a car from a list member 
and my 1st day out with it, I got smacked. In the process of dealing with 
the insurance company, a year long struggle, I was pleased with their 
valuation of the car after pressing the issue into the ground with them.
For a valuation for your '73, please look at these links,
http://www.nadaguides.com  and  http://www.manheimgold.com
and fill in the appropriate data. For a '73 4dr LeBaron, prices range from 
about $2000-8500. There is a formula the insurance company uses, and after 
the other guy's insurance company realized that I knew the value of my car 
based on the data from these links and a couple of other sources, I received 
a fair valuation. I avoided working with my insurance agent and worked only 
with the other guy's company. I'm not sure if this worked for or against me, 
but I got a fair price.
Best wishes on this new endeavor and sorry to hear it happened.

Hi All,  I've been quiet here lately as life things have been  pretty loud,
I hope all are well. Early this morning my '73 Lebaron was hit by a very 
intoxicated
citizen in a honda at suprisingly high speed (given the damage to my car).
