Blue book value and retail value are not the same, Blue book on my car was $1900, I got a third party insurance company to settle for $4761, and my car was stock with the exception of the CD player and wheels.

Was fault determined? you said he ran a light, if thats true then the burden is on his shoulders, they need to put you in a new car. And that's going to cost a LOT more than $3000

Edit: that 4761 was to repair my car, and NOT total loss it.

Those are listings for YOUR Zip code, within 1 year model of your car, with in 300 miles of your zip (thats what insurance companys consider a similar vehicle)

The cheapest one up there is 3500, and it's probably a piece of junk. Your car is worth WAY more than $3000, and as I said earlyer, you are entitled to what it would cost to replace your car. According to this you would be foolish to settle for less than ~5000, and your 240 is probably worth more than that Unless it was a peice of junk. =(

Remember, they will try to trick you, I've never seen them NOT try. They will tell you all you can get is the blue book value, if they say that tell them that they need to put you in a new car, they need to FIND a car, they need to BUY the car, they need to REGISTER the car, and then they need to transfer it to you.

If you want another 240 have them do that, AND DO NOT SEND THEM ADDS FOR CARS, tell them to send you adds for cars, then call the owners up and find out if its the right car for you, if it's junky beat up or too many miles, or an auto/stick, what ever you didn't have, tell them that the car is not acceptable.

You damn well better fight them, because if you cash your self out for way less than the car is worth, you set presidence for future cases. By that I mean you will actualy REDUCE the value of EVERY 240sx on the market. I don't want to find out that you've lowered the value of my car by wussing out, so good luck and fight hard. ^^
