Well somebody decided not to yield and crashed into the side of my 85 grand wagoneer. Did some pretty significant damage.

they have admitted at fault, and now it is time to come up with a number.

It is progressive Insurance, and after 3 days, the estimator called me back, and told me he still has not come up with any numbers. he admitted to me that right now he is clueless.

His numbers are $500 up to $30,000.

if you look it up on NADA, it comes up as $9500 on the low end, to 26k on the high end.

84 and 85 Grand wagoneers are unique, being they have old style dash, yet they are fully equipped with all options, in 86 they changed the dash and grill. Those years are more common.

anybody in our collective ever dealt with appraisals or such for insurance purposes? any ideas for me?

I have searched ebay and craigslist, and some jeep forums. I just cannot come up with much or any 84, 85 years in the correct shape.

My jeep looked good from 20 feet. But it ran and drives and everything works 100%. Paint is oxidized bad, and there is some rust on the very rear quarter panels. The rest of the jeep is solid with no rust.

here is a link to a pic:

just thought I would toss this out there to the group to see if there was any ideas. in our GMC world we have the Jims that can do appraisals, and I am sure we all deal with the same deal of knowing what it would cost to replace what we have already in our old rigs.

I am putting together some info for him to send monday am. including this article:
