Sorry to hear that mate, least you're ok..
In answer to your question - probably way less than you would like! thing to do now is trawl the internet and run off ads for Vespas of same age/spec you can then use all this research when you come to negotiate the settlement with your insurer.
Hope you get it sorted and back on 2 wheels soon

hey. my insurance company (underwritten by Aviva) offered me 700 for my '98 px disc. I had all the research mentioned and told them that it would be impossible for me to replace my scooter for less than 1100, they agreed with my research and my figures and offered me 900. by that time I was so disgusted with the person I was talking to (the garage based valuing monkey) that I just said yes, but pushed hard to buy the scooter back. the garage responsible for ripping you off will then break your scooter into parts and sell it for more than they valued it at (we've all seen a certain auction site and the breakers overpriced ratty offerings) all in all it was a grubby experience with grubby people. eugh
sorry to hear about your problem. get your scooter back, maybe cut it down (they look so nice!!!) and spend the remainder on the engine..turn a bad thing good...yayyyy!
