Ah - that's a pain
In working order, I'm guessing you aren't expecting to get much more, or any more, than £4,300 for it?
If it would be worth more than that, you might be able to negotiate the £300 a little bit higher given the garage will make good money on the car given it'll cost them about £2k or so to repair.
If worth £4k or less, then £300 doesn't seem unreasonable really.
