Do I pay him the blue book value of the car or the $2700 he's asking for? Because $2700 is more than the value of the car and the estimate to fix the car is less than $2700 but more than the car that worth at its best $1500.
not up to me to decide you will need to pay whatever you and other party agree to if a reasonable amount can not be arrived at you will need to have a judge assist you in establishing an amount
