EDIT: I owe an apology for misunderstanding what a negotiation means in terms of insurance. I guess providing documentation and then asking for more value is simply substantiating your ask and not actually negotiating. I stand corrected. I thought I negotiated and got really annoyed when I thought everyone on this sub just wanted what’s best for the insurance company, and not me. So, apologies. I’m man enough to admit when I’ve made a mistake.
I posted earlier on this subreddit about asking for advice on how to negotiate the gross cash value that I’m getting for my 2004 Honda Civic from 6k to 7k. I installed LED lights, ambient lights, apple carplay, android auto, sound deadening material, new speakers(front and rear), new wiper blades, got 4k worth of repairs done.
Happy to share that I was able to get it up to 7.1k because my policy had a clause in it that it would pay up to 1k additional for custom parts. Some folks on here told me that there’s no way I’m gonna get 8k for an ‘04 civic and this is not a negotiation, but I’d like to inform you that I was able to bring up the gross ACV from 5.93k to 7.1k.
