I have the same model, written off last September. I was given £1600 and bought it back for 10% of value. Damage was rear quater panel, drivers side. Estimate was circa £2000 but I got it repaired for £250 (not perfect but quite adequate) at a local small body shop.

Unlucky mate, you aren't the first though :'(

Always the same story, it's an old car so not worth anything. Don't let them write it off, if you shout loud enough they tend to pay up.
