The insurance people asked him what he thought the car was worth and he said the top end of the range of prices thinking that they would haggle. They agreed instantly so he realised that he should have said more. The car was old but had nothing wrong with it and we were very happy with it. It cost us a lot of money to get a replacement and I still miss the old one because it was so much easier to park. Good for you for haggling!<br /><br />I've got my pantry food stored in creative corners too : )Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109560378489524671.post-36401482541431611962013-01-26T16:53:20.676-08:002013-01-26T16:53:20.676-08:00Sorry about your car.

I telephoned the garage I bought it from and they told me how much they would be asking for it if it was on their forecourt for sale. The insurance company pretty well offered that.
