If your ring CAP they will be able to give you the price for it escpecially if it Glasses. CAP has a much bigger data range then glasses, if you get hold of a full experian report on the vehicle it should even have the CAP code.  Good luck trying to beat the insurance company.  They unfortuyantely don't have to source you a car and no insurance policy i new for old or old for old!  As stated before the insurance are not interested in paying the dealer margin fora start.  IF you want to get what you paid for a vehicle back after an acident you need to buy a GAP policy.  This covers the differnce between an insurance payout and what you paid for the vehicle.   I know its a pain in th arse and quite frankly bullsh*t, but these are the facts.

Last time I went head to head with an Inso co they offered me X.
After I presented them with the state of the REAL market, adverts etc and after much negotiation, they round to my wak of thinking and upped their offer by 20%.

I've worked in the market in the past for about 10 years and know how it operates. 
You, as yopu state, will never get them to pay dealer markup; I'm not interested in that; dealers operate ina  world of their own.  
Much better to present a carefully argued case and they, in my experiece, will see the error of their ways.

Edit to add; can you give me the number for CAP, I'll ring them on Monday to check what Subaru said is correct.
