My brother was in a car crash in 2008 where a girl suffered some sort of medical mishap and crashed into him on the wrong side of the road.
Now it's all been settled after her insurance dragging their heels about her medical condition.
The problem is, the insurance are trying to give my brother the Market value of his car at today's value, As opposed to it's value in 2008 when it was written off.
He disputed this and thankfully they have offered to pay him the value of the car in 2008. But they want written proof of it's value back then, so how can he get a written valuation of a car that's probably a can of coke now?
For what it's worth and if it helps, It was a 2004 Vauxhall Corsa, good condition with 38k miles. Again, I know it's near impossible to value a car without seeing it, which is the problem we face.
Ideas?

Just ask a dealer to give you a written valuation. I do it all the time for customers that have had their boats stolen. (I'm a boat dealer)Now it's all been settled after her insurance dragging their heels about her medical condition.
