jamesmark Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 if you have not got agreed value which elephant dont do, as little as possble really they will offer you, unless you dig your heals in and refuse there first off, did it have any mods on it? did you declare every single one? if not you wont get a thing back, as i am with bell which is elephant also and they will not cover any mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I work in Total Loss Claim for an insurer. Elephant value vehicles according to Glasses Guide. If it is in good condition then there is no reason why you cannot expect Top Book. They may try to use No Service History as a justification for not giving Top Book, but under FSA legislation if the car is over 5 yrs old it cannot be used to justify a lower value. I can get you an exact value from work on Tuesday if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
