Get to a good solicitor. Have you got a receipt? Is your insurance Fully comp, or 3rd party? Was the other person fully to blame? It should be their insurance company paying out and they want to keep their losses to a minimum. If they are paying out stick to your 'guns' and get a solicitor. Tell the insurance co. full money or an identical vehicle as replacement.

Insurers will always offer as low an initial figure as they can, based on the published "book figure" for the car. You need to provide evidence that it's worth more, perhaps you can find adverts for similar cars locally etc . . .
Good luck!

did you purchase gap insurance? it covers the depreciation of your vehicle. i am of course assuming you took a loan for it. if not i would ask the insurance company where they got their figure....dont accept their first offer...its always a low ball. i suggest looking up the value of the car yourself so you have something solid to argue your side. if you are not at fault their is always legal recourse and they really dont want to go to court.

I'd have a look in one of the price guides. they use Stones which you can not get hold of so use say Parkers and go from there. I would make the point that they are using a traders price not a retail price and you are not a trader

Tell them the offer is not acceptable and see if they offer you more.

SUE THEM IN CIVIL COURT FOR THE DIFFERENCE.
