Hi all,
So, unfortunately my car was written off last week due to some idiot blowing a red and t-boning the car.
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar model VT and knows what to expect as an insurance payout amount for the car. I understand that they go by market value of the car at the time of the incident, but I'm not sure about other factors that may affect the price. Here's what I mean...
What should I expect to get back from this especially given the motor is from a VX and has done lower k's than the car plus things like LPG?
I have checked out red book and the max private price value is $4,300 with 195,000 - 325,000 k's. However, about a year or so ago, the agreed value on the car was $6,500, but then changed to 3rd party only this year.
Thanks in advance!

- It's a '98 VT Acclaim (V6)
- Body has done around 250,000. but had a replacement motor from a VX installed about a year ago with 180,000 at the time (can provide receipts)
- Installed with an LPG system
- Extras such as airbags, traction control, power mirrors and seats
