Guigsy Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I wouldn't even bother claiming. It will take ages. You can get your car back and repaired way before you get any money out of the insurance company. I've heard stories of people not getting cars back for 6-8 months before they can start repairs. That why on the day I had my crash I told the insurance I wasn't claiming and drove it to the bodyshop arround the corner with the front end smashed in Ok so it sat there for 3 months while i got parts etc but at least it was finished in that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyTT Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Such a shame mate. You had it looking tip top. Sure it will work out in the end. Hope your neck gets better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've heard that keeping your neck warm (use a warm/hot towel perhaps) can help with whiplash. If you want to try this, don't delay. I think the heat helps to settle the neck muscles down and help them heal. This is just what I've heard on the grapevine, not AFAIK standard medical advice. As for the insurance, a lot of people used to think a third party's insurer couldn't write off your car, but I'm not sure if that's correct. The old guy's insurer will probably offer you a sum of money to write the car off. This is usually a low figure, if so be prepared to get evidence of how much a supra will cost you to buy, and begin the haggling process. I'm not sure if your agreed value with Livingstone will take effect because you won't be claiming on that insurance. I've probably raised more questions than I've answered, but hopefully they're good points to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Nice car. I am pretty sure it will be a write off though. The fact that it's a Cat C will work in your favour. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be the other way round as he is likely to be offered a lower value for the car overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
