you have a good point. the adjuster that's coming to look at it should have a good idea what the damage figure is.
Don't count on it, over the decades, dealing with various adjusters/appraisers both in the shop and my home, I find most have little to no knowledge what they're looking at vehicle or damage wise.... I did enjoy some retribution on Snake Farm some years ago when one of Snake Farm's insured total out my Daughter Ford Escort, it was a $600 4cylinder econo $hitbox, that I slapped some junkyard Escort GT body flare pkg and a quickie paint job on, car looked great for a kids first beater, probably had no more than $1K in the whole car, the Snake Farm goof showed up after 3-4 weeks of waiting, fortunately for me he told me I had one of those rare GT Escorts worth some money!, I didn't say a word....he cut a check for $3800
