Thanks for the insight from the inside.

It's been my own experience, however, that my approach can be successful to some extent. If you think you're being lowballed, you have to have something to back it up. Doing some research based on the Autotrader and other similar resources gives you something to rely on rather than just complaining about the adjuster's numbers.
