You need to get a claim management company on YOUR side. DO NOT try to negotiate by yourself, you will get shafted by the insurance company even your own.
Show them the adverts on eBay and on Car and Classic and Pistonheads. If it's your S2 don't let them write it off ask for money in lieu of repairs and keep your car. Don't let them take it unless you want gone.1996 S2 ABY Coupe silver

I'm going through this currently with my S4, but claims management company is far from being on my side. They offered me £1750 - scrap value and I told them to shove it up their arses.
In my case they wanted an eBay/autotrader adverts with pretty mcuh identical car. S6 didn't do the trick, and even after providing a signed letter by both buyer/seller stating sale price they didn't give any fooks. Honeslty, unless you get some badass claims company they couldn't care less, all they want is settle and move on.'93 Audi 100 Avant - R.I.P

Go through the same issues fairly frequent due to my job and i just refuse offer if not suitable ,inform them you ll get 2 quotes yourself as your legally allowed to pick your own repairer and you can use used parts if you want .
You need to be patient as well took a year for my A3 , check your policy for legal aid and courtesy car coverage as the persons insurance company got charged £100 a day which sped the process up .
Try and and get an agreed valuation when you take out policy it's not much more .
I had to supply 3 vehicle adverts same spec mileage etc but got there eventually .
few weeks ago had the same thing with my brothers van started at £1600 but after I put the van in our storage yard at £25 plus vat a day and hire van they eventually got to £3800.
Argue the fact has to be like for like or sometimes you can buy back the car but refuse the fact it goes on the register which is also an option.

Don’t bother with the ombudsman. I ended up accusing them of taking money from the insurance companies to come up such corrupt rulings.
Total waste of time.
Sort it out as much as you can with the company. I have mine all on an insured value and it states no outside valuations.Rob..

I must have blazzed the trail! My company started at £400. Value. In the end they paid me £2500 and keep it for a one owner mint S6 avant that had lived in Alicante from three years old.
