Oh yeah. As fas as value, it really depends on your insurance. When my wife totaled her car, our insurance would not give us Kelly Blue book or NADA value. They claim that is resale value and not replacement value. They took an average of NADA, KBB and local listings of like vehicles to come up with the value which of course was lower than what I wanted. I also did the same research and came up with a considerably higher number. I put it all in writing and explained that I only searched for the same year, make and model with similar mileage. I then removed both the highest and lowest priced vehicle I found to eliminate low balls and inflated prices. They brought there number up a bit. Then they also gave me rental, tax and title fees which brought just about where I wanted to be.

Good luck.
