Help! I need my Brabus V280 valued

Hi all,

I'm hoping you guys are able to offer some advice!

I'm new on here but have had a 2002 Brabus V280 (VR6 engine) for about a year and a half.

Last month I took it in for an MOT and the tester crashed it! :eek it's been taken of by his insurers who have deemed it a category N write off as it's not economically viable to repair.

It's not that big of a hit, just the front bumper has cracked and the grill is sitting wonky compared to the lights. According to them there's no frame or engine damage. All electrics/fluids/etc seem to be intact and functioning

They've valued it and offered a settlement of 1400 (1100 after fees and excess). I paid £5K for it last year and have seen others online for £6-7K

Here's some examples, admittedly they're from a couple of years ago
£6999 https://www.gumtree.com/p/mercedes-benz/mercedes-v280-automatic-ambiente-brabus-styling-crew-van-6-seats-45000-miles/1128907703
£6495 https://www.gumtree.com/p/mercedes-benz/mercedes-v280-automatic-brabus-styling-leather-crew-van-6-seats-43000-miles/1169572099

I'm guessing they've looked at Parkers/Autotrader etc for a value and just picked the closest thing which seems to be the Mercedes (not Brabus) 2.2 Ambiente and used the value for that.

On mine the paint and interior are a little tired but it's a solid vehicle with low mileage, roughly what would you say is a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:
