I believe there is a dimished value law or something like that in GA.

Just thought I would let you know, maybe save you some$$$
there's a dispute about the actual value, they offered 113 dollars on a 2001 prelude w/ 30k miles and no prior accidents (car is not modified) I faxed them a market value assesment that stated a loss of 1600 and they declined to accept it's methods for appraisal. I'm not accepting their 113 and they aren't using my 3rd party assessment, so it might only be resovled in magistrate court.
