If they offered you KBB pricing or very close to it, I'd take it. You can't do much better than that.

KBB, NADA, and others are all approximate pricing, and that really depends on local markets...we are simply lucky that our used vehicles have any value at all, because if it was used jewelry, stereos, computers, or furniture, they are rarely worth more than 10-25 cents on the dollar 6 months after you buy them...

Why would your car insurance increase when you remove one car from 3 cars covered on your policy ?

It may depend on who's driving those cars and their relative values. For example, if you had a teenager driving a clunker that you've gotten rid of and he/she is now driving your Bentley you might expect your premiums to rise. Or it could just be a coincidence that the premiums went up at the same time you removed one car.

You got rid of the 3rd car that was driven by a youth who's grades dropped causing you to take away his driving privilege. That youth is now rated on one of the other two cars as an infrequent driver without a good student discount. Kids Cost.

But Used car pricing does not include the LifeTime warranty which is NON-Transferable. So any used car pricing guides would not have this factored in. I found that I can purchase an lifetime extended warranty for $4K, would it be reasonable for them to include that in the settlement?

But you didn't pay anything extra for the lifetime warranty. How can you suffer a loss on something you did not pay for? And besides, you knew the warranty was not transferable when you bought the car---which is why a lot of people around here didn't bite on it. From my point of view it was little more than a marketing ploy.
I'm just not seeing the solid grounds for your argument here, although I do wish of course that you get a fair and just settlement.

Is your $4000 'lifetime extended warranty' the same thing as Chrysler's 'lifetime limited powertrain warranty'?
I'm willing to bet 'no'. Two different sets of coverages, with different rules.

Isn't that like saying I didn't pay anything extra for the tires? If, for some reason you couldn't buy a car with tires, and therefore you would have to purchase the tires after buying a car, wouldn't that be a loss?
