i only tinted my windows. fyi, i paid 30k OTD
I didn't have to argue anything; the claims adjuster did her best to get me a fair amount which, at 6000 miles, is pretty close to the amount I paid minus some trivial depreciation (a few hundred bucks).

I was freaking out at first too, thinking the accident was gonna cost me dearly, but I learned this: You shouldn't have to treat your insurance as if they are trying to shortchange you; their job is to make you whole again, not to make you hurt every time you file a claim.

Unless, of course, you have one of those insurance companies that are known to be cheap even to their own customers (starts with Guy, rhymes with Co)... in which case, I hope your premiums were low
