Permit/license thing?

If the vehicle is listed under Actual cash value, the vehicle will often be paid based on the Blue book value of the vehicle. However, if the vehicle is listed under a stated amount, which is quite common with older vehicles, then it can be determined by additional factors, such as an appraisal or receipts showing additional work was done.

Also, in some cases, in newer vehicles, there will often be what many refer to as gap insurance. This will provide additional payout for a vehicle which has a loan, that the vehicle is worth less than the current amount owed by a loan (generally due to immediate vehicle depreciation once driven off the lot).

I purchased a car in 2003, how do I find out how much the buying price was?

The answer varies from policy to policy, but the most common payout method is the actual cash value based on the blue book.

Will he know about what happened from the police report?

I believe they go by the Kelly Blue Book value. It would depend on the condition of the car before the accident. For example, milage, body damage (rust, etc.)

UK Vehicle Status Report?

They use "Blue Book" value which is the value of the vehicle less particular depreciation. After about 3-5 years, a car is pretty much worthless and any insurance settlement won't result in much of a claim.

Can I renew my registration if the car is not in my name?

Retail plus any modifications or recent expensive repairs, like a new engine or transmission. Another fair way is to see what the same vehicle is selling for in your area through the Auto Trader, Newspapers, and local dealers. Also remember "fair compensation" should include local sales taxes and registration fees. Especially if you recently re-registered the vehicle. If your insurance company is compensating you they may be limited by your contract. If another parties insurance is going to be the one writing the check, and the amount does not exceed the other parties maximum liability coverage, try very hard to negotiate full replacement value.

If my home state (TN) does not require tags or titles for pop-up campers can I travel to other states?

Customarily they use mid-bluebook and deduct from there..they look at any rust or previous damage and drop the value.
Then they have some percentage of what the repair costs is and if it would be cheaper for them to pay total it or fix it.
Don't just settle for what they think it's worth...if it's a newer vehicle..try and gets some ideas as to how much it would cost to replace it.
But if you financed it the bank gets any money up to what is owed...if the settlement is less than what is owed...you would still have to owe the balance...in that case you may want to sue the other driver if there is one..for the balance.
