Always, always, argue with your insurance company over the settlement. Look for cars online of similar age, quality, equipment, etc. to yours and use them to argue for a higher price. You can almost invariable get a significant increase in payout by doing this.

@JackAidley concur. Insurance is not your friend or partner. They are an enemy, an opponent in this.

The insurance does not need to make you whole. It's pretty clear that they have no incentive and no contract to do so. What they can and must do is one of A. Pay for repairs to covered damage, or B. Pay for the vehicle at the agreed price. That agreed price is the cost of a comparable car
