A good adjuster generally uses NADA plus sales tax and looks for comparable values in the local area. The amount owed on the loan depends on whether you had gap coverage. If the accident was not your fault, you can go through your insurance company's collision coverage (if you had it), less the deductible, and you or your insurance company can recover the deductible from the at-fault drivers company
