Of course your CSL was worth more than that. I'd say minimum £26 000 but more like £28 000 and ask them how much they want for salvage
Talk about adding insult to injuries
The cheeky fookers are trying it on with U m8, thinking you've not recovered from a concussion. Using Glasses Guide that's not worth the paper it's written on explains a lot, and anyway as the name suggests it's a bloody "GUIDE" for lazy car dealers and Insurance Co., not the bliming Bible. Tell them if they think they can buy a replacement for your low mileage SG CSL (like for like) for £19500, I for one would like to know how ? and from where ? as for that sort of money I'd buy another CSL and tuck it away for safe keeping
Sorry to see another RHD CSL disappear but I'm glad you're OK and on the mend
