I have a 2010 Ford Focus with 86k miles. I was actually selling it and had 3 interested buyers for $4,000. The car had a dent already on the opposite side of the garbage truck impact. The city is basically saying without the dent my car would be worth $4,087 however the KBB value of it with the dent and scratch is $4,100 and in good/great condition $4,500-$5,000. So they are already low balling me there. Not only that but they said if I wanted a rental (the car was unable to be driven) I would need to go through my insurance and file a claim. My insurance said they should be paying for it. (previous accident the company of the truck that hit me paid for damages and a rental)
Now, to the price they are offering me because of the prior dent damage... $2,854 (tax included). Is there anything I can do about this? I really needed at least $4,000.
This is my first post on any financial/advice sub so please let me know if I'm in the right place or if there is any other information ya'll may need to know.
