Insurance settlement offer!

[Borderbmw]

Hello all,
Ive not been on for a while as some of you know i lost my 320i in a smash while my good lady was driving us all to dinner,ive finally got a settlement offer from the insurers,they've offered me Ԛ£350 which i dont think is in anyway a fair offer,i know my car was 18 years old but it was in very good condition and had covered 150,000 miles but was still running sweetly....what im asking is does anyone think this is a fair offer or what do they think i should ask for?

Thanks all

never accept the first offer.

post the cheque back and demand more. get proof of selling prices (watch some ending on ebay and then print off) also ads etc. then send it all back.

don't forget to play on the classic status, owners club (zone) member loved car theme...

i got 1500 for my M plate rover 216 last year , i paid 800 for it 2 months b4 a transit rear ended me. but that was cos i was buyin it off my dad.

i got lots of adverts from autotrader etc and took lots of photos to show the car was in mint condition AND ALSO WENT TO A ROVER DEALER TO GET THE OFFICIAL BOOK PRICES. i was offered Ԛ£900, but asked to speak to the guy in charge cos i couldnt get a replacement for less than Ԛ£1495....

5 MINS LATER THE same guy fones back asking wud Ԛ£1500 be ok

sorry bout Caps, tryin to type wit baby in arms

dont accept their first offer,when i crashed my first 320 touring ,they offered me a similar amount ,i refused and we eventually settled on Ԛ£800, and i was allowed to take the alpina reps of it as well, not to bad considering i bought the car for Ԛ£500.

morning border-good news that they're gonna settle! hows your lot anyways?

back OT though- I'd be expcting a minimum of Ԛ£600 for your car-and as others have said-get ebay listings/autotrader ads etc to prove it!

good luck!
