Thats not correct. there definitely is a lot of value in negotiating the price as the insurance companies are lazy and, in my experience with 2 vehicles, referenced a blue book value that was from out east and didn't come close to current local market values. In each case I was able to negotiate 50% more than their initial offer. BUT *I* had to do most of the leg work and present it to the insurance company along with a statement of why I thought it was worth that much. Well worth the effort.
