What happens now? Car claim

GDB2222

Get back to the engineer straight away to remind him not to dispose of the car. It is, after all, your property until the claim is settled.

OK...I did that.spoe to insurers not engieer because no return number for him. I said ''I don't want you to crush it'' and she kept saying ''it doesn't matter if we do you can still dispute'' and I kept saying ''but we can't still buy back and restore!''

Nothing I can do now I think but wait and collate some examples of similar in sale now. The thing is these types of car don't GET sold on...

I definitely would not accept that response.

I have to say though that you are being rather optimistic thinking you might, just possibly, repair it. What you'd need would be another near-identical landy with busted mechanicals, then do a complete heart transplant, and finally take the leftovers down to the breakers for scrap. It wouldn't really be YOUR landy by the time you'd finished, even if it's feasible.

That's exactly what we thought we would do. Its mechanically tip top..

Update:

The damage has been valued at £9,900 to repair
The car has been valued and £3.345 (using Glass's guide)

Sounds about right. Glass`s guide is the most useless guide ever. If i could buy a car for the prices they show then i`d have loads of nice cars.

Wait to see what the insurance company offer you, then like i said in my previous post, just prove to them how much it would actually cost you to replace your car for an identical spec / year car. - look on ebay, local papers, autotrader etc..
