Find the blue book value and attempt to collect a list of similar cars with similar condition and mileage to negotiate further.

Then take the settlement, then try and buy the car back and sell for parts, you could make a few grand on Ebay if you rip off the most sought after items and flog them.

Or you could just sell it for spares or repairs as long as the buyback value is low enough to warrant this.

most insurance companies , when the car is under £6k , actually look at the second hand market and advertising to see how much they are selling for an make an average, so check autotrader etc

I was in an accident 2 weeks ago, guy ran a red light, hit me and a mini van, then flipped 3 times after he hit us. My daughter and I were on our way back from an animal shelter and had a pup in the car. luckily it was in her lap and she was holding him. My car was totaled so was the mini van. We had witnesses and the guy's father said it wasn't his fault that we ran a light but wouldn't let his son speak to insurance adjuster. Finally got my check today. [thumbup]
My totaled car, I loved this car was cheap to drive and never had a problem in 4 years.



Picking up 2010 mazda 3 on Saturday.



And our lucky pup that had a rough first day with us.

Since you live in Europe, you don't have access to anything nice, so I can't really advise on what to get.

Haha, well played sir!

To the OP, probably an obvious question which you may already know the answer to but were there any CCTV cameras near the roundabout that may have filmed the accident?

Find out what those cars are going for in good shape with similar mileage. If they try to lowball you then present them with the ads showing the going rate. You should get fair market value.

Insurance offered me £2800 originally. I sent a great deal of cars which had a £4300-£5000 price which were near identical to mine and managed to get them up to £3200 offer. Is there anything else i can do since i wanted at least £3500?

Any further advice is appreciated!

Did you even read my post? I work in insurance for a living lol.
