Hi Guys,
I really need your help! I stupidly purchased a stolen car about 3 months ago off autotrader from a private dealer - the vehicle was siezed by the police about a month ago now. I paid out 8k for the car (Audi A3 2006) so at the moment I'm 8k down. I've found out that the insurance company have paid out so the car belongs to them. I have been informed by the Police that I can make an offer to the Insurance company to buy back the car. I've obviously already paid for the car so don't fancy paying again but I've heard stories where insurance companies accept offers of around 1k to buy back the car, are these true? If so, how's the best way to word this to the insurance company? i'm giving them a call tomorrow.
Hope you can help!
Tom

My friend's mother unknowingly bought a ringer and she was able to buy it back from the insurance very cheaply, so it is certainly worth a try.0

Really? Did she make them an offer first or ask them first on what they'd accept?0
