Thanks guys.
I'll have to check that out...
Tomorrow I'll make the call, and check the paperwork language when I come
back for the weekend.
I know that when I got the insurance, I had to get an appraisal done.   And
did receive paperwork with those values indicated.
Thanks again.
I'll check it out first thing tomorrow

   Larry,
   Iam so glad you mentioned your policy.
   You are getting SCREWED.
   You say you have a Stated Value policy with a major insurance company.
   Do you know what that means? If means YOU say your car is worth X, and
   based on that, they charge you some amount. Nowhere in your policy does
   it say that THEY agree that your car is worth what you stated it is,
   nor are they obligated to pay you any specific amount in the event of a
   total loss. When and if you were subject to a loss, they would handle
   it like any other claim to a conventional car.A  They would perform
   their own analysis and do acompsa, including all sorts of horrible
   examples like that rusted-out wreck we discussed yesterday, then come
   up with an average value, and offer that to you, and no more.
   The rest of us have AGREED VALUE policies, where both the insured and
   the company AGREE in writing what they settlement would be in the event
   of a loss.
   Many years ago I had a friend with a immaculate a72 Corvette roadster.
   He had it insured with USAA on a stated value policy with a value of
   $20k, which was top dollar for such a car then, and he paid
   accordingly.A  When it was stolen, USAA looked at similar
   year/make/model cars for sale in Autotrader etc and gave him $11.5k.
   When he protested, they told him he was welcome to sue them, and
   pointed out that by the time he paid his attorneyas fees, even if he
   prevailed and received a settlement of $20k, he would be left with less
   than the $11.5k they were initially offering.
   He couldnat argue with the logic, and reluctantly accepted half what
   his car was worth, and slunk away, never owning a nice car again.
   If you phone your agent and ask exactly what they would pay out in the
   event of a loss, he will evade and dodge the question with meaningless
   tripe like aDonat worry, we will take care of youa. If he says they
   would your stated amount, demand he put that in writing. Either the
   tap-dancing will begin, or you actually have an agreed value policy,
   which is what you want.
   The third option is Actual Cash Value policy, which is just an ordinary
   policy. With an ACV policy, you get no input at all.A  They just charge
   what they want to charge, and then make a settlement based solely on
   what they want to give you. In terms of the settlement itas no
   different from a stated value policy. The only difference is that they
   donat trick you into making a statement of what you think your car is
   worth in the false belief that the statement is meaningful in any
   way.A
