Sorry to hear of your accident. From my experience with an oldish car I was adviced never to just except the first offer. I rang the insurance company and explained that I had always looked after the car and it was in very good condition (prier to being written off) and would cost more than they had offered to replace it like for like. Without any argument they increased the offer by a few hundred, which I was happy with, so that was settled on. Good luck.
