I havn't seen the estimate, but from what I was told by the body shop the cost of parts was more than the value of the car alone, so I'm assuming before any labour was added the writing was on the wall.

That I can believe. That's a long way from the majority of the bill, though.

Maybe it's time to walk away from this car, you don't want a third time unlucky.

How would they know that the car was previously written off?

If you claim from your own policy depending in your Insurer you may find the remaining instalments are deducted from the settlement you receive.

Personally I think you would be best waiting to see how much the other company offer you before making a claim on your own policy so you can assess which is financially best for you

If you claim from your policy you'll also pay the excess and possibly loose ncb.
Your assuming they would do a substandard repair without good reason.
