    You've forgotten that the OP bought it using a credit card, so has £1400 to pay off in addition to buying a new car.

    However the insurance company is paying out "market value", so they then go and buy a car at "market value", and they're no worse off than they were - ie, they still owe £1400 on their credit card.
