Allstate $$$ Verdict IN !!
I have to give Allstate some props here, when my 99 FRC was destroyed last week I thought I was going to get the shaft, but to my surprise(thank you Jesus) they are giving me the option of a check for 28, 996 or I keep the car and a check for 22,802. What do you think, they want my answer by end of bus. tomm.
Thanks

I think I will be taking the bigger check. I will be replacing it with a new C6 Z06 however for now, then I am going to try and find the best duplicate I can and mod it exactly the same way- you know try to make a clone.

Your kidding me. They gave you a check for almost 29 grand when you can buy the same car for just at 20 grand anywhere in the country?? 
WOW...... Congrats. Go out and get yourself another car and enjoy it until the Z prices come down.
BTW, DONT EVER SWITCH INS. COMPANIES!!!

One of their insured hit my stationaly Vette, and we have a witness to that fact, AND the driver admitted she didn't even look or see before backing into it.....Allstate offered crap....50% of repair costs, and denial of 100% of the rental car.....so now we are headed to Court. I guess they take care of people who are insured insured with them better than those who are damaged by their insured. Based on what I have learned from body shops and conversations with others, Allstate is universally really tough to get money from if your a non-client claiment.
Congrats to you for getting a good price for your loss...

That's great news Dan. It is bad enough that you had to endure the pain of the accident, I'm glad you didn't need to struggle with the insurance.

Great settlement amount. I'd take the cash and run.

Just a suggestion- for insurance, especially on a modded Vette, get 'agreed to value' insurance.
I use Grundy ( http://www.grundy.com/). Prices are BETTER for more coverage than State Farm.

If you can sell the car as is or part it out for more than $6K, I'd take the smaller check and keep the car. Otherwise take the larger check. Even with the smaller check you should be able to buy yourself a newer model replacement.
