ok another update

 

i am getting my car back tommorow hopefully in the same condition as it left !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

my insurance have offered me £1700 and the car !

 

can anyone advise me as to an opinion of this figure as i think they are taking the f*/?in piss

 

they have told me that the have an engineer that values the car on its specific condition and history to give a fair value

not just a parkers book price

 

obviously they dont look online to see what price these cars ar currently selling for or are actualy worth

 

i am seriously considdering telling them i want more and i want it re-valued but not sure on my best approach

 

can anyone help with this or maybe just some examples of similar cases.

 

Best bet is to have a dig around on the internet for cars of similar condition to yours and send this through as evidence of current values and then ask for an amount. TBH most insurance companies always start low and will give you more cash if you push. As for getting the car back again it saves them having to deal with it aside from some storage costs so it is in their interest.

I had a similar thing happen to me a couple of years ago and its gutting, especially when your insurance goes up because somebody else decided to drive into a parked car.

 

My mate declined his first 2 offers when his integra was written off and eventually got what he paid for the car a year earlier.

They'll always try and pay out as little as possible so never accept a first offer. You'll need to do some digging and find some similar condition cars to prove what it's worth

hi all thought id post another update

 

i recived the full report on the car today

 

ITS GOOD

 

the total for the repair came to £4306.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

and so you all know a new rear bumper is £450

and a rear quarter pannel is £460 if available !!!!

 

the car was valued at £2022.00

hence being writen off

 

im looking into doing the work myself

 

know where there is a jig and the costs are all for replacing the pannels ect so a bit of time and effort and may be ok

 

may even have enough to do a complete respray and get it re checked to get it off the writen off register !

 

any way ill keep ypu all posted

You'll need to double check the catagory of write off too as some can't be overturned.. ?A/B?
