Insurance claim after an accident in France. Does this value sound right?

If treated as a write off what value should I get for a Mercedes-Benz C180 Kompressor Avantgarde SE 56 plate petrol manual with 34,000 miles (approx) and in pristine condition? My insurers have offered £8.5K less excess of £500.
