Getting paid from an insurance company is wildly different than what you receive in the open market, trade in or private sale. Insurance companies use the algorithm based NADA/Blue Book values which are fantasy land while the car industry uses the Manheim Black Book which is the bible of that business because it is based on exact prices paid at auction nationwide.
Anyone who works or has worked in this industry will verify the above statement.
