How much should insurance company offer me?

Have 2006 Toyota Corolla diesel hatchback was damaged in crash van drove into back it is driveable but if insurance want to scrap wot price acceptable. Was looking at ads for similar cars, mileage etc they ask about 6000-6500. Understand if u unable to answer this but wud appreciate any estimate

Our answer:

Hi Olivia,

That price looks about right but unfortunately it's down to what your insurance company values the car at, and any value you estimated for insurance purposes when you took out the policy. And to be honest, insurance valuations are a deeply dark art.

Best of luck with it.
