I was able to get my mom a check from the insurer of the lady that rear ended her and never provided anything on paper. She just told them that the local Toyota dealership (she has a Toyota) told her the car would be worth about $1500 less since it had been rear ended. GEICO settled with her for $1000. You can also get a few hundred bucks to settle a potential bodily injury claim.

So I should take the estimate and photos to Lokey and ask them what they think? The lady that hit me has Geico as well so your story is encouraging. I don't believe it is a scam either. If I try to sell the car later on I will definetly get less now that it has a wreck documented on the VIN.
