Hello Everyone!
I recently purchased a freshly remodeled Amphicar (1967 Red) and was
having it transported to me in Portland, Oregon. En route it was
evidently dropped (!) off the top deck of a semi, severely damaging
the entire right side of the vehicle (if not more).
I haven't seen it yet, but I received a call from the moving company
(a very large, national car moving company) letting me know there was
an "accident" and that they would have an appraiser look at the
vehicle (it is insured up to $50,000 while in transit).
My question: Does anyone have any advice on how to best handle this
whole situation? I am going to insist that I have an independent
appraisal as well, but I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for
an extremely well qualified appraiser in the Portland area. Any
other suggestions?
From their phone call, I don't think the company realizes how
expensive most Amphicars are. Is there some way to demonstrate how
expensive parts and quality repairs are?
Thanks in advance for your help!
