then make them a offer back where they keep the mini and you ask for more money

it's a insurance company of course they will want to pay out as little as possible

[POWER5LAVE]

thats what im going to do when they phone tommorrow.

[minimadjonesy]

as everyone has said, do not accept their first offer, go back with proof that to buy a new one of the same condition as yours will cost £XXXX and provide them with eveodence (adverts, ebay listings etc, etc) Always worth a punt. Also, try to keep the car so you can strip it for parts. The interior will sell, along with things like the alloys, carb, andy anything that has not been damaged!

[POWER5LAVE]

doesnt matter guys sorted it this morning after arguing with some young ladie ive managed to get £1980 and i keep the car. they have valued it at £220. lol owell on the hunt for anouther mini now woooooo

[Ethel]

I'm confused, is that £1980 off your own insurers?
Do you know what's happening over the other driver yet? Look in to recovering damages for loss of no claims etc and more importantly, personal injury - if you haven't already.

[POWER5LAVE]

no thats his insurance. and my auntie is a personal claims lawyer so shes been left in charge of all that for me.

[Bungle]

so a car you thought was worth 4k for you were happy to get less than 2k for

[POWER5LAVE]

no sorry valuation wise i would of been happy with £2000 but ive pumped about £4000 into the car, problem was i didnt have reciepts for most of the work that was carried out even though i payed for it i didnt get receipts cough tax man cough same with parts. im happy anyway i brought the car for £200 2 years ago so im not moaning just be happy to get into anouther mini wooo im going to start stripping mine down Tommorrow and sell off all the unwanted parts. may use it to make a trailor if i can be bothered
