Thanks, WBAC weren't able to provide a valuation immediately and wanted to review the car (not now possible) but I didn't hold out any hope that they wouldn't just provide a very low value! The van that hit me has admitted full responsibility and the insurers looking to recompense, I'm just not happy that they're providing an accurate pre crash value, but will keep on trying to find some reasonable like for like prices. Cheers Ken

Thanks for the reply Gareth. Unfortunately the damage was significant rear end damage that has created a salvage category b. Insurance taken out as 'market value' hence my search for same, but haven't been able to find anything as a comparison. Thanks anyway. Ken

Looking for a valuation on a 1999 (face-lift) A4 B5 Avant 1.9 TDi SE 110bhp. High miles (as expected for this bullet-proof engine) of 232k, but very well maintained including replacement wings a couple of years ago, a new drive shaft, hub and suspension pieces front and rear in the last year as well as a new MOT in Dec 23 and a new set of (non Audi) 17 inch rims and tyres. Unfortunately this beautiful 2 owner car was written off earlier this month - insurers have provided a low pre-crash valuation (and are asking me for like-for-likes!!) - however these seem to be as 'rare as hens teeth' for the types age, and that's before considering the rare LY5T (Kingfisher) colour. Any steers gratefully received.
