[W126 Coupe] Insurance BS..

[bill cooley]

My insurance company even has pictures on file of my two BMW's showing the 
cars from every angle, inside and out, just in case something happens.  My 
agent  and can help me with claims that way.  I used a vehicle appraisal 
company down here and the guy came out took pictures, inspected the car and 
finally did an appraisal for insurance that he made into a report that 
included pictures of the car, recent sales, rating on a scale of 1-5, etc. 
I think it was under $200 and the guy's company  is very well known and 
respected.  My insurance company has a copy in my file.
