That sounds fair and reasonable.

When my truck got totalled I told the adjuster I am not going to ask for a rental, I am not going to ask for a medical settlement, I just want a fair value for my truck. I was polite to her, and she was nice to me. When people take a hyper aggressive stance from the jump with an adjuster and they are surprised they get some friction from the adjuster I laugh. They showed me the comps and they were more than I thought the truck was worth, and I got to keep the truck. Everyone was happy. I bought some used parts for under $100, had a salvage vehicle inspection, and the truck still on the road today.

I'm sure someone is about to show you a link to someone asking $29,000 for a 300TD on eBay and say they would have used that as a comp.
