Had the insurance information through today,QUOTE "The vehicle is beyond economical repair, the salvage will be removed and will be disposed of as soon as possible" END QUOTE

 

No offer as yet though:(

 

I can't believe you are going through insurance. That would cost 2k max at a good bodyshop.

 

Thats the no claims fooked too :(

without trolling thru the posts ;) . . .

 

Have they offered you a buy-back-scrap value yet ?

[or rather, have you enquired !]

 

I'd buy it back and drive it as it IS ! ! !

 

Whatever the value, it's STILL a TT :notworthy

 

Perhaps I'LL buy it OFF you for the 'SCRAP' :sly:

does anyone know if an insurance company can legally make sure you don't keep your car.

 

If it was mine i'd really want to keep it so where would i stand?

i THINK if they 'write it off' they effectively 'buy' the whole

car off you . . . it becomes THEIR property ?!?

You have to ASK to buy back the scrap vehicle.

AND i think SOME companies now WON'T sell it back to the

owner ??? they prefer to pass it to their own disposal company ??

 

If you mean can they MAKE you 'write it off', well i know years

ago you could argue that you wanted your car REPAIRED, and

i know sometimes they eventually WOULD.

[not sure if they HAVE to or not though ?]

 

. . . . . .MAYBE ? :search:

Despicable. You sure you've not upset any females?

 

Must get camera up before my car comes back from the bodyshop. Over three weeks for a rear bumper so far!!

 

Sorry to see your car like that. At least you could get one that's not red this time though ;)

Cheers Lads for all the comments, The Insurance are now picking it up Mon/Tues.

 

To be honest letting the insurance have it has turned out to be the cheaper option, They've offered me a decent payout even after the excess was taken off and I'd be gutted if I'd had it back and repaired and the to**ers who did came back and did it again.

 

I'm going for a less obvious target next but it's been a great car to own for nearly 4 years!!!

 

I'm still going to stay on the scene but only from the outside:(

 

The wife has taken it personnel and want the house securing like Fort Knox with CCTV, floodlights etc.

 

Anyway thanks again for all the comments.

 

Cheers
