Yes I would try Carvana. Just for grins I tried getting an estimate for my car to be bought. They gave me $21,500 as a buy price a few months ago.

Interesting. Last month they offered me just $12,425 for my 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI S 6M with 78,000 miles.

Tell them to find you another one like it, and do all the upgrades to it that you had.

You can check value at JD Power which is who many of the insurance companies use. Just putting in a stock Sportwagen S with MT and 30K miles I came up with this: https://www.jdpower.com/cars/2015/volkswagen/golf/wagon-4d-tdi-s-i4-t-diesel $17,527 - $19,230 but may come up different in your zip code. What are they offering?

 

[Nevada_TDI]

As was said earlier: tell them to find you one with all of the extras you have or standard vehicle plus goodie allowance

1st check your insurance policy terms
2nd negotiate
3rd if can't negotiate, hire an appraiser and get ready to sue

Out of curiosity, I checked carvana, they offered me $3600 for a car in excellent (but with 155k miles)

I'll keep it, thanks Carvana.

For a 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI?!!?

I plugged my '15 GSW S 6M with 16K miles on it into Carvana a few weeks ago. Offer was $23K. However, I think prices are falling fast. I suspect diesel cars will take a big hit in the next few months because of high diesel fuel prices compared to gasoline.

I have the same but with 101k miles and they offered me $16k so that was cool. Getting ready to sell mine here soon because we just inherited a 17 Tacoma so one of our cars has to go.

What you mean people in the US wont like paying $+7/gallon in the next month or two? Its to help support Ukraine!

I still laugh at all the straight piped bro trucks filling up cause they tow a jet ski twice a year but daily commute in the thing.

Yep, 2015 in excellent condition!

Update: ASfter a lot of back & forth with the insurance carrier, I was able to get a manager to override the value assigned by their contractor CCC One. I argued, and was successful in having the value raised by having the CCC One contractor run their values on direct comparable. S (no-sun roof), manual & milage arguing that those specific cars retain value better then auto/SR cars. The com data supported my contention. CCC One balked saying their algorithms were correct & able to correctly adjust for options. So, I have them run the same variable on manual trans/no SR cars & then again on the same w/ low milage. Each time, the results returned in my favor & supported my contention. Fortunately, I had receipts for aftermarket add ons, that the ins. co contractor said had not value, again, when I had them run it, it supported my values. Ultimately, time worked n my favor as the ins. co was being pressured by their salvage company soothes could auction the cars, storage costs were adding up and they I my nest step was to go to the state insurance commission with a bad faith filing. Thanks for the input.

 

[turbobrick240]

Maybe this guy will buy it at auction and fix it up good as new. Ian was not kind to this McLaren P1 either.

 

[Bob S.]

Sadly, it would have been an much easier save, if not for the ins. co. that would not let me retain ownership after telling me I could. The delay time to salvage sale was not kind to the car.

Glad to hear it all worked out for you! What was the difference in values before and after? Those that have a clue and are able to discuss things rationally generally get better results than someone without one and an attitude, trying to resolve these kinds of things.
