I personally would start searching the classifieds and dig out all cars relevant to yours. 
preferable the higher priced ones. Then have some ammo when they give you a low offer. Also as our transit you will be able to buy it back for 10% of the offer. can be cheap as hell to just break and make a few £££'s more. considering all the work completed of late.

So true

We have just had the same nick with our transit. we had thought about selling it as the london low emmision zone was coming into force and that meant £100 per day to move it outside our yard. 
Boris has scrapped this for now. TBH we would be lucky to sell for £2k i would think. when our £2500 offer appeared we took it AND bought it back for £250 as an easy repair.

Oh, I agree totally - in either of your positions I would have taken the money & run - rather than wait another 2 weeks for them to shuffle their papers!!

The "engineer" who came out today seemed quite fair. Said his report would be put in today - so i'll call the insurers tomorrow to chase it up - its all the inconvenience of it all really! And i'm pretty gutted that she'll be going and reduced to "spares"
