How will I replace my written off BMW 5 Series?

My car is deemed a write off. Open market selling preice, as per revenue, will not replace my car, like-for-like. It's a 2008 BMW 520d M Sport with 98,000 miles on the clock, leather interior, carbon black.

What are my options as this is all they are offering: €13,000. Cost to buy like for like ranges from €18,000 to €22,995.

Thank you.

How reliable should a 2010 Volvo S80 be?

We are looking at a 2010 Volvo S80 with 80,000 miles on the clock - it's a 1.6 diesel. What should we look out for when buying it? Are the turbo and particle filter likely to give trouble at this stage or does it have a good reputation? Would this car have a good reputation all round?
