neilp9876 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 My wife drove my jaguar into the back of our mpv/van and in in a dilemma as to whether to claim on the insurance. The van is a 98 Toyota which needs a new tailgate and is unlikely that Toyota will still supply them, so I guess it will get written off. The jag needs a new bumper which isn't a big deal. I'd like to keep the van as the damage is only cosmetic, but I'm in a dilemma since the insurer will fight over the value and might not sell it back to me. Do you think it's worth risking a claim?

j_jza80 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Personally, no. Even if you can buy it back, it will be listed as cat D. That combined with the raised insurance premiums you will both have from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you could pick up cheap second hand parts and get it sorted yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilp9876 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 If I did that I would end up driving around in a pink fiat 500! I know my place and my responsibilities, and they are putting the bins out and trying to keep the cars going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I guess, with an attitude like that, at least IS won't be trying to recruit you as one of their harem keepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I have salvage rights and buy back on my supra Category depending. If for some reason it got damaged and they paid out and offered it back to me for silly money i would take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
