Car totaled. Can I ask them to use only private party comps?
Find answers to your legal question.

Thanks.
Additional Details
Appreciate the responses. The insurance adjusters have been professional and responsive to the documentation we sent.

The database they subscribe has data more representative to the wholesale versus resale market. Finding your own more reflective comps is a better bet.

I'm so glad I bought a car-fax type subscription. There are a lot of rental cars for sale...and a few wrecks,.

if they use private party comps only which they won't regardless of what you say you'll be hurting yourself .. private party vehicles are going to be less than dlrshp vehicles or not accurate since some people think that because they just put 2000 worth of repairs to a vehi its actually worth 2k more

bottomline regardless of what you ask all ins companys have guidelines they follow.

You probably won't have to, as private party sale values are usually what's used for comps.
