Local sales are the way to go since that's what most companies look at. Autotrader is useful for this. Find as many classified ads for similar cars as you can in, say 100 miles. Try to slip in a few SVTs to see if they notice  Let them tell you a number first, you may be surprized (I was with both cars I totalled when I got more than Edmunds or KBB said they were worth in Excelent condition).
Good luck,

Hmmm...like this one(very close):
Germain Ford Columbus
2000 Ford Contour SE V6 Automatic
Sale Price: $9390.00
Color: Silver
Mileage: 60,638
Spoke with used car guy at Germain. He printed and faxed KBB and NADA numbers to me. He said adjusters call him all the time for retail prices.
KBB: $9355.00
NADA: $7125.00
Average: $8240.00
Used car guy says: between $8500-9000 + tax (6.75 currently). I'm not holding my breath just yet...

This is a problem with ALL CONTOUR, MYSTIQUE, and MONDEO.
Make sure you post a complaint with NHTSA.
The more complaints, then NHTSA will force FORD to recall the seats !
I've had my drivers seat fixed TWICE !!

$4800(payment due at end of month would take it down to $4500) If the car is indeed a total loss I still have to remove:
K&N drop in
EL gauge faces
Pioneer 6.5" door speakers
custom trunk panels(I don't know if it is possible given the damage to the rear)
SE sideskirts
One other thing is the alarm/remote start. The place I bought it from will come to the lot where my car is, remove the unit, and reinstall it when I get a new car for $220. I'm sure the adjuster would rather pay that then the $500 I paid initially.
I will be selling the above items(K&N + recharge kit, gauge faces, trunk panels, and SE sideskirts) once the adjuster decides on the car.
