Best way to get sold pricing on NSX for insurance valuation purposes

[Yawwn]

Hey fellow enthusiasts,
I wanted to ask how is the best method of getting comparables of recently sold NSXs?
I got into a car accident with my silver NSX, and the insurance is providing bad comps of sold cars that are not even in my state. They are using Mitchell to figure out the values. I'm getting reamed with the valuation. I want to provide them more accurate numbers that are in California (not in Illinois and Utah). What was truly unbelievable was that they listed the condition of my car as good, but then deducted almost $7800 in value for the bad condition of my seats. This is complete BS, as the real glaring issue is the worn part of the driver's side bolster. The rest of the two seats are fine (not many cracks, no cuts, wear in small places except for that side bolster). Even the rep said that he couldn't believe the adjuster would have deducted so much for one seat.
I checked out eBay, but couldn't find many ones there that were recently sold. I also checked out the Prime Marketplace, but it doesn't list what the car actually sold for (unless the seller posted it) or if it even sold.
Is there a better way to get this info, which would include the VIN and verifiable sold prices as market value (not wholesale / auction prices)?

Thanks!

Sorry to hear about the crash. Who is your insurance company?

This is the reason why it is worth the compromise for having "collector car" stated value insurance.

Good luck.

Thanks DocL.
You're right. It's a good idea.
I'll PM you my insurance co.
I've disputed some of their initial claims, and to their credit, the manager quickly took back some of these ludicrous deductions, so they are playing more fair now.

If the accident was "the other guys fault"...you can fight to be made whole by his insurer (at least that is what I did).
Otherwise, just keep fighting to get what you desire from your agency.
GOOD LUCK!

I did this with my 92 a few years ago saved me money and increased my coverage. Hows it work with partial damage if the cars not total loss tho? same as any other?. (Never had to make a claim)

I would print out ASking prices of cars with similar year and miles and show what it would cost to replace. Then argue with them until I get what I want.

for real tho, who is your insurance company?

Thanks guys for the responses. At this point, I'd prefer not to say who my insurance is, but if you want to know, I can PM you 95nsxtc.
Any other suggestions on how to get market value?

TIA.

I provided them some comps, but they said they would not accept private party transactions. Is there a way to check sold cars through manufacturer dealers and used car dealers?

Ok. Another update.
They didn't clarify that I can (and should also) look for cars for sale. That makes a big difference. Initially, they gave me the impression that I had to find sold cars. I spoke to a few other insurance companies, as well as my body shop, and they all said that I am not to limit myself to sold cars. As a matter of fact, I should be looking for a car for sale that I can replace with mine. I'm quite annoyed now.

Please close this thread. Thanks.

What year is it I can look it up.

I wonder if it would be wide to implement some sort of "sale tracker" thread on prime, record all the recent transactions (similar to that on M3forums, link and example below, would need to be stacked by mod)

My insurance company also said they would go to KBB and/or Haggerty for "special cars".

I fear for you if they would go to KBB, Hagerty on the other hand seems pretty on point

Yeah, but you have USAA. They are the best. The OP doesn't seem to have the best carrier and I surmise that that is where the problem begins. If he'd post who his insurance company is, maybe someone here who has/had them can help him out.

For now, he just has to dig in his heels and pull the rope as hard as he can.

I just checked for my other car...KBB was 98% of the "Average" Hagerty

I have been very happy with USAA...but I "went after" _ _ _ _ _ Farm to be made whole and they too were reasonable.

I always complain about Hagerty being a fortune but it's worth to avoid scenarios like this, they know collector cars very well to the point that they suggested one of may cars was under insured for an agreed upon value.

I had not checked the NSX (since my 1991 does not seem to be in KBB)...I looked at KBB for a 1992 NSX and it was ~90% of Haggerty.
