the insurance wanted almost £700initialy to buy back however due to the damage caused and the impending loo of value on any resale due to the wright off that cost seems a little steep.

Would I be able to maker some sort of counter offer???
Also if I was to write telling them I will be charging for the vehicle staying on my land would they legaly have to pay?

Of course you can, give us all a clue what is the car and what id the damage, don't worry, you won't embarass yourself, , (I hope):o

No, could have been worse, can'y think of any examples tho' ;)

Offer what you think it's worth to you,, no offer less, I'm sure you will get it,

If you do nothing it simply will be collected at some point.

the car belongs to them at the point you settle your payment and cash the cheque. You could buy the car back off them and then you could do the repairs but if you do it now while it belongs to them. That would be like repairing my car after a crash, i can come take it off you anytime as it is my property.
