that shouldn't cost much to put right.when my bug got smashed up years ago they sent out an assesser and then sent me out a quote that they would offer to write her off and also a buy back price so good luck and all the best.

Aw mate I dient know she had been taken. A bit worried shes in 'storage'. You dont have to take the first insurance offer, and make it clear the settlement is to include the salvage rights to the van.

I take it you've a fair idea of what a Mk2 transit is worth these days? looking at ebay the days of them being £1500-£2000 are long long gone, the insurance company will go for a just above scrap value offer as to them its just another old knacker, be prepared to argue with them, market value means just that - not what they think its worth (in their dreams)

COPART :0 ?! Thats a salvage/breakers. Not good. You need to fight the insurance all the way on this and quick. Storage will be adding up on a daily basis. Soon the storage costs will outstrip the value. Push em for a settlement before Copart move cozy across the lot

Copart are just an auctioneers - you can bid on all their stuff online. I'de be getting it back ASAP if it was mine though. Is it drivable with a screwdriver to start it?
