£1200 is a joke, how you're supposed to get your car back into the state it was previous to the accident or buy another one in similar condition for that sort of money i'll never know, it's just never going to happen. 
"book" price, i.e. the Glass guide trade purchase price, you actually have the right to reasonably be able to purchase from a similar supplier to where you purchased the damaged car, i.e. if you bought from a dealer with warranty etc then you need to use prices from a dealer not be forced to replace at an auction. You have the right to be returned to your pre accident condition (within reason.) £1200, get adds from eBay, pistonheads, here the OC etc. its a year newer but has 5000 more miles or it has not got the rev 6 bumper but has few less miles.. you get the drift. They offered my mum £1100 for her old KA in the end the settlement was £3500.. 
.he said there were at least 11 mr2 turbo's which were rev2's which were all around the 1200 mark,and i could only find 2 rev2 and they sure as hell were not £1200 they are starting at £1800 and going steeply up.oh and he had a pop saying mine was high milege at 110,000 miles 
.. Its your job to prove to them that they are talking out their pooper 
.. If they send you a cheque as part settlement DO NOT bank it, by doing that you accept their offer. They lied to me when my Mk1 was destroyed, said that the cheque was an interim settlement, and that we could negotiate further...nikaiyo wrote:Mate their job is to get you to accept as small a settlement figure as possible.
Another top tip.
.. like their premium has to. It's a simple bit of banking legislation that would help to put a stop to rip off Britain but guess how much tax/income the insurance/banking industry makes the powers that be. How many businessmen cough up donations or loans to political powers to ensure we remain a pickpocketed nation. And when their massive profits turn to losses who's pocket is lighter? Keep at it though till your satisfied, I think that's the least I'm entitled to in any business transaction... and maybe ask for examples of recently paid for cars from members here perhaps in a new thread?. bombarded with parrots on seafairers, blue elephants and singing fat men then they match it! Why not just be forced to give their best figure at the start... I know some will be stupid or naive and pay their first quote but why should they for something that's compulsory? These quotes are then all available through a compulsory comparison website. I really do feel something should be done to reward those who accept their responsibilities and pay for their privileges and at the very least protect them from this sort of piracy.
