My husband had a motorcycle accident on March 2nd and his is considering buying back the motorcycle from the insurance company. We figured they would charge us around $400 to $600 to buy the bike back, but instead they said the value of the bike was $1600. I just wanted to get other opinions on the worth of the bike.
The bike is a 1995 Harley Davidson 883 Sportster. It had approx. 6000 miles on it. It had custom pipes and handlebars. It had a larger gas tank (approx 5 gal). The bike is a total loss from the accident and is at a motorcycle shop. The guy that works at the shop told me that it wasn't worth more than $600 and that the insurance company is trying to screw us. He also said that an adjuster hasn't been out there to look at it yet, so how would they even begin to know the salvage value.
I have to call the insurance company back and talk to them and just am not sure how to handle the call. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
