If my insurers decide to write off my Zed and I feel the need to buy it back from them, what's the going rate?

Seen prices from £3600 for a bad condition auto to £5500 for a nicer manual. UK Cars standard though. Jap cars can go between £3500 to £6000 realisticly as standard. For modified ones, or really good condition cars would say between £4500 and £7000. Still seen some cars on this forum for £12500 for a stunning example and seen an ad price them at around £11500 :shock: If you were to ask insurers would probally say £4500 stock - and someone on here earlier was offered £4000 for a part exchange.

What year is the car ?

Is it a N/A or TT ?

 

The reason that I ask is that, at my workshop I had A 1991 N/A and the insurance wanted £1700 for the customer to buy it back from them.

It's a 93 UK TT with 50k or so miles on the clock

Only a slightly different thread, what can you do about it if the insurers offer you a ridiculously low amount of money for the car. They haven't yet, but I feel the need to be prepared.

Some insurance companies wont let you buy the car back..

In my dealings with insurance companies, don't except the first offer they make to you. They will try and pay out as little as possible.

If they do offer a low amount then get some for sale adds from different sources (autotrader etc) of the same year of car as yours, and roughly the same mileage and send them those and say it is going to cost £...... to replace my car with the equivalent that is on the market.
