Hope SWMBO is feeling better.

Whiplash is not fun (speaking from personal experience and nearly 12 months of physiotherapy) so tell her to take it easy.  Or as easy as possible with 3 kids in the house!  :wink:

best part is she has been suffering with back pain since her last accident 15 years ago, and this has aggrevated the problem, booked in to see Dr tomorrow night..

Having just gone through this with my zafira they generally go on book value (Glasses) and Knock some off for above average milage, body damage e.t.c. try using this to calc car value,

I found it virtualy spot on, then argue its worth, remember they will start low. i got £200 less than book value with mine after about 45mins argueing which was good with a couple of car park scrapes and a kerbed alloy.

Look on auto trader and some other site's for example's to back up your case.

Just 1 more thing,

Good Luck  :wink:

Range Rover Red:
When my E-reg Fiesta was deemed a write-off about three years ago, I got £300, minus £75 for the buy-back.  The car was still driveable.  I think I would have had to pay about £150 if I had taken it in for scrap.  I think it is bottom book price that you get.

The laughable thing was that about three months after the accident I got a letter from the insurers asking me to remove the car from storage if I had not already done so as they could no longer pay for storage.  I had been driving the car every day since the accident and it had passed its MOT, complete with crash damage - a dint in the front wing!

I'm glad to read that SWMBO is OK.  My soon-to-be-husband was involved in a similar bump a few months ago - whiplash is not nice.  I hope her back trouble is only temporary as well.  Get well soon.
