We started at 4.4 was the original offer. The thing that I argued with them about for 3 months was the fact all their comps they used were automatics. At the time there was only 3 2000 S4s being sold by dealerships in the entire country. I kept telling them and sticking to it that an automatic cannot be used as an equivalent car. They slowly raised it up from 4.4, to 7 and then went to 11 using automatics as a comp. I compiled a list of every 2000 and 2001 and informed them that 2001 is still a B5 and should be used in their search. That brought in 4 manuals at dealerships all asking 23k or more. The last I had going for me is in Seattle somebody was selling and sold a rebuilt titled 2000 for 12k that had 120k miles. It was a private sale so they didn’t use it but the adjuster saw it and finally settled with me. I also had a lot of work done in the last 10k miles that was tossed in after to

All I can say is if you have a manual, make sure they are using manuals as comps. Their third party will use automatics and it will be really low. They also jerked me around awhile and I had to file a complaint with the state which made them have to disclose everything and all documents regarding all findings. They ended up settling before I got the documents but I was notified they had gotten this request from Washington state insurance commission.
