I think they are offering trade value for the car, not the purchase price from a dealer or private sale. Tell the insurance company to go and buy you another WR1 with what they are offering and to contact you when they have found one

i thought that carnt find one fo less than 9.5k

Dont forget these are limited numbers, can only go up in value or stay at one price for a time...

If they cant find one for less than 9.5k then theres your answer

[Gary75]

Prices for WR1, these prices are only a guide to the value.

04/53 retail £9125 trade in £7350 67000 miles
04 " £9575 " £7800 66000 miles
54 " £9900 " £8125 63000 miles
05/54 " £10500 " £ 8700 61000 miles
05 " £10925 " £9125 60000 miles

thought soo thanks for your help

its got to be worth at least eight an half surely ?

[Matty WR1]

defo a min of 8 on a PX, but you couldn't find one for that to buy so i'd say 9 to 10 k from insurers

I'd agree with that estimate. In the current market you would pay £8.5-9k for one with that kind of mileage.

Insurers always pay out rock bottom "book" value rather than reality. You can sometimes negotiate a little leeway but not normally much. Id expect 8k from an insurer if they were going for 9-10k.
