If they want to give you 5+ grand for a 13 year old car more mug them mate lol. They teach you to be deceitful next time I get hit that's precisely what I'm going to do lol.
I suppose it depends on the insurance company, but when my mum's car was written off her insurer (RIAS) offered £1200, I went back to them (with evidence) that the only 3 cars of equivalent spec/condition/mileage for sale within 50 miles were priced at £1900/£2100/£2195 - within 24 hours they had revised their offer to £2100 and transferred the cash over.
