Keep pushing the Insurers for two different settlement figures and they should offer you a lower payout with you to keep the motor.

Also ask them what category write-off they have given the car, I think they still rate them A to D and where they intend to send the car if they do manage to "prise it from your cold dead hands!"

Different Insurers do have different rules etc but you should at least express your concerns re the inspector wanting to get his mits on the bits. From experience they will usualy come to some kind of agreement just to get the claim settled and avoid a barrage of phone calls and letters tying up peoples time.

Worst case is it may come down to a take it or leave it offer from them and then you need to decide whats worth the most to you - the money or the car
