Called State Farm this morning for another update. Woman who answered said the claim was now in the hands of the total loss dept. and transferred me to another woman. She indicated that she had just gotten the file on Friday. It is now 8 days after an adjuster looked at the bike and the total loss people still haven't looked at my file. Of course I express my dissatisfaction/extreme irritation with the amount of time it takes State Farm to get something done. She indicates they will get right on it and call me back before close of business.
She calls back and tells me they couldn't find comparable values in my area so they asked a couple of dealers what they would sell a 99' for. The dealers said $2,400 in average, so that was here offer. Again, I expressed my dissatisfaction at that. I paid $3,000 for a bike in good shape and put another $400 into it making it as close to perfect as I could get it. What about my time?
I was steamed to say the least. So I asked her, where I could get one in very very good shape for that money? She told me if I had a different opinion about the value then I could document what I thought it was worth and prove to them they were wrong in their assessment. I told her what I thought about them telling me I had to do all the work or accept their crummy offer. State Farm is not a company I will ever do business with.
