Bongo Fury

Expecting insurance company to tell me my Bongo is a write off - involved in side collision, someone pulling out of side road straight into me. Absolutely gutted! Both doors dented, jammed and middle pillar damaged badly.

Apparently I have one of the lowest mileage Bongos in the country at 50,000 miles. I knew it was a bargain, didn't realise quite how much when I bought it though in 2019!

Needing some guidance as to value of this excellent Bongo - in mint condition.
1999 registration, JAL side conversion 2015, 2.5L petrol automatic, under sealed, mushroom roof, extra wide rock & roll bed. All the mod cons, fully serviced and maintained.

I've never been in an accident before so I'm researching its value in preparation to counter their offer. Please wise ones, what do you think it is worth??
Thanks

The prices vary so much at the moment due to the changing demands from covid etc. an excellent quality new import starts from around £10K then there's the conversion etc. I must admit I went for assured value insurance for just this reason so I (in theory) don't have to haggle about its value for a few pounds extra and sending in a series of photo's is meant to mean that the agreed value will be payed on a right-off.

Mines at 60k miles with just the side kitchen unit but the van is immaculate apart from surface rust on the running gear, we paid 9 grand for it in January this year, its been in the country three years so with all that kit I'd say between 11 and 12k to replace.

Might be worth asking Phil what he would charge you for a relacement.

Sorry to hear ofyour rotten luck.

A FORUM rule from Ian ,

Don't ask for an opinion on "What Is My Vehicle Worth?". Just have a look at the For Sale page or Autotrader, there's plenty of examples. And don't link to eBay ads, even if it's not your vehicle for sale. We have seen too many forums degenerate into a sales-fest and we don't want it happening here.

Thanks - all new to me. Will check out what's for sale on here. Even the tip to ask Phil is helpful. Don't want to create problems, just trying to get some advice.
