help!

i have a s2 coupe in black with black leather 140 on clock with loads of hist totally restored last year 2 new front wings full re spray drives and sounds like a dream but 2 weeks ago some sod went into the back of it with a van i would value my s2 at approx 6500 does this sound right or would any1 value higher cause of colour cond etc?? advice usefu please guys?:

[T2Andy]

Id value mine at 10k in the real world you would be looking at between 4\5k

[anthonys2]

cheers! yours looks a real head turner would u believe actual book value is 2500 from the insurance company idiots! ive only got std alloys 16 inch they still look good but ive often thought about putting 17 or 18 inch alloys on i also have a a4 with rs6 alloys looks nice

Go to Pistonheads and print a copy of the S2 currently for sale for £7500 and send it to your insurers saying your car is equal to this one except for the milage, hence it is worth about £6,500. Also inclde the one for £5,500 and tell them yours is better.

Then when they want to inspect the car, make sure you are present. Point out all the good bits like leather, aircon etc but be careful with aftermarket stuff. get him to agree it is a great car in great condition and also that it is a rare model....not just an Audi 80.

Reject their first offer with evidence as to why it is worth more (suggest a value around 1.25x what you want to receive). Reject their second offer and give further supporting evidence (further good cars for sale plus fact on the number of cars built for rarity value etc) and tell them you will accept a value of around 1.15x what you will actually accept.

Their 3rd offer will be their last so you need to be damn good during the early negotiations.

Cheers n

thank you for your advice il bear that in mind mate. they are certainly slow at trying to settle any claim am so annoyed going into the back of my s2 it must be one of the nicest ones around

[spink]

how badly damaged is it?might be worth buying it back off them and getting it repaired

[anthonys2]

i was thinking about that cause i have a mate whos an expert at body repairs and brilliant painter actually got it refurbished 18 months ago damage is at the back driver side bumper scratched badly and back body panels badly pushed in its certainly repairable
