stolen car market value?

Tell that to the insurance company then. If they want to offer you £250 then i'd ask them to prove or provide examples of cars similar to yours that can be purchased for that sum. Failing that ask them to explain in detail how they arrived at that figure.

As a side note most old cars are worse far less than what their owners think. Ask any trader/salesman on here about what ludicrous sums people expect.

I have been offered £300. I will challenge the offer, it won't hurt to try even if they won't offer any more.

I agree that a lot of old cars are over-valued. With a lot of cars I wouldn't have a clue as to their value but I have owned Sierras since I was 15 and I am very familiar with them and their relative values. I could have sold mine for £450 at least, I am confident of that. I'm not going to pretend it was worth £850 which I've seen some people try and flog equivalents for. :eek:

NB I have only owned them since I was 15, I must say I only started driving them when I was 18.

To the OP - very sorry to hear of your loss and you certainly deserve something to go right after all of this. Best of luck with everything.
