Sure, but the value of the car would have been determined by the cost of buying you a similar car to the one you had.
I agree the cost of buying him a similar fence (if the existing one isn't repairable) is an appropriate settlement, which is presumably why they wanted quotes.
Edited to add: anyway, this whole line of discussion is probably not helpful to the OP. Sorry for the de-rail.
