list price is about £3500 and to be honest you'll be able to get another, same spec, same or less mileage, for about that too, there's one on trader for £3150 anyway so they do pop up cheap now and again

Never take first offer. Though I suspect you will do well to get more that 3500 - 3750....

Try and prove to the insurance that thats the price they sell for, find some on Autotrader and print off and send to them.

Exactly ;) because thats how insurance companys work now, they actually are supposed to pay out market value as opposed to book value :)

having said that, the majority will do everything they can to part with the absolute minimum!

On another note, what was the nature of the electrical fire? Any idea what the cause was?

Makes me nervous hearing about things like this, and if anything can be done to prevent it happening to someone else it would be good to know.
