How Toogle calculates ACV in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, Toogle runs every total-loss valuation through CCC ONE Market Valuation. The system pulls roughly 11 "comparable" listings within a 95-mile radius of your ZIP code, then applies a base value before stacking deductions. For Massachusetts claims, Toogle adjusters tend to subtract $1,000–$1,700 as a "condition adjustment" based on photos rather than an in-person inspection, and they almost always omit factory option packages (navigation, premium audio, tow package, advanced safety) that boost ACV in the Massachusetts private-party market. MA insurers must include the 6, but Toogle's first offer in Massachusetts frequently leaves that line item blank until you push back. The comp radius, the condition deduction, and the option-package omission are the three places where Massachusetts drivers consistently recover thousands once an independent appraiser re-runs the numbers.
Massachusetts case study: +$3,840 on a 2020 Toyota Camry
A metro Massachusetts client came to us after Toogle offered $17,750 on a 2020 Toyota Camry totaled in a rear-end collision. The CCC ONE Market Valuation report pulled comps from outside the local market and missed two factory option packages. We rebuilt the valuation using Massachusetts-specific dealer asking prices, corrected the mileage adjustment, and added the omitted options. Toogle revised the offer to $21,590 — a $3,840 increase — within 21 days, without invoking the appraisal clause. Representative example; outcomes vary by VIN, condition, and policy language in Massachusetts.
