Heyup guys, long time...
After some advice please.
My Wife's trooper just got bashed on the rear corner. The underlying metal panels are fine, even the paint is OK, the rear bumper corner is a little mashed, the under bumper reinforcing steelwork just needs a few hammer blows to straighten, and the rear mudguard needs replacing.
Now the woman who bashed it is doing it under her insurance , as her car had a lot more damage (ours was stationary !)... so the "give me a few quid and I'll just sort it myself" route that I would have preferred is not an option.
Waiting for their insurance company to contact us, but I'm thinking they are going to need us to get some quotes, all of which will be astronomical compared with the car's value (say a grand, and the car is not even worth 2k), and they will say it's a write off and offer me £800 or something equally useless, then I have no car...
Any advice welcome.... the car is fine, no minter, minimal mods, but nothing wrong mechanically and I've no reason to want rid of it.
Thanks in advance - JB _________________ 1993 3.2 V6 SWB manual (Zambia)

one of your options would be to let them right it off then buy it back,i know you could do that a few years ago as have done it twice myself but not sure about now. |
