Insurance help?

I recently bought a 04 Lancer RalliArt, and sadly it was totaled 3 days later. The insurance company is trying to give me $13,500, when the car was originally bought for more than $15,000. I was wondering if anyone could point me to any sources that would estimate the vaule of the car. Ive got some Carmax reports and i've checked the Kelly Blue Book website. Any information would be very helpful and I thank you all greatly.

THANKS!

hey sorry to hear about the bad news. You can try this link:

you might want to try salvaging parts from the car if you have access to it...and sell it on here to try and cut your losses.

good luck!

You might be outta luck on this, unless you have gap insurance. 04 RA's really aren't worth more than $13k.

In NY i think they finally made it a law that insurance companies have to give you gap insurance with any new vehicle. If you didnt get it i think you are SOL.
