had my car broken into on sunday. they ripped iginition section out and there is damage to door and frame so the garage suspect it will be a write-off. they have submitted the quote to insurers (tesco) and will inspect it on thursday.
its a vauxhall astra mrk3 bought for £1400 3 years back. only 66,000 miles, perfect engine, body work and no rust.
people been telling me they will only pay the value of car now which is looking to be about £400-500 on autotrader but these generally have twice as many miles and look a mess.
anybody got any advice on this as £400 will not get anything worth while.

I had the same dilemma with Tesco. I had an N reg Astra (flash i know!!) and some dozey bint drove into the side of me. I had paid a similar price for mine. It had 77000 miles at date of death and it was in good nick. I got £475. But to make matters worse, i was only 3 months into the renewal so they take all of your future payments of the amount you get!! I got about £300. You're stuffed really! Make sure you get the most you can by printing off the most expensive similar cars of Autotrader then send them to Tesco once you get an offer. Good luck
Oh yeah, when you do get a new motor call Tesco back up for your insurance. I only had to pay a one off £40 and they insured me for the rest of the year as i'd paid my premiums out of my claim.
