    It will be the insurances choice, I wouldn't push for a write off too much as they may smell a rat

    There is no rat at all to smell...genuine claim. I would not do that hence my going to pay for damages initially rather than claim

    Sorry to say but your 1st post does sound fishy.

    I want a new car and accidently damaged my current one, I want the insurance to write it off so that i can get the car i want.

    Thats how it reads to me. From the comments it sounds like others have read it in a similar way.

    Come on guys, it is not a crime to have a preference on whether the car is repaired or written off.

    Thank you Christopher. I swear hand on heart - what I have said is the absolute truth. Why would I have taken the car to the garage and have every intention of paying for the damage myself until I found out about the twist. I dont need to convince you or get you to believe me my conscience is clear. The matter is sorted now so thank you for your advice.
