JoC Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hi all, I need some help and advice please. I was in an accident, where someone hit me from behind. Visually I need a new bumper, new boot lid (not the spoiler), x2 light clusters, and potentially there is a slight deformation to the wheel well, plus bumper brackets are broken. Year (56) Impreza WRX Type UK Mileage 88800. insurance has decided its write off and valued it at £4100 (if anyone by a miracle has a 56 type uk mileage 88800 for £4000 please feel free to let me know and I shall inform the insurance company :)!!!!!!!) with no physical inspection or photos at all!! I am with a supposedly highly rated and well known insurance company. It drives absolutely fine - no wheel damage, door shut lines are all fine. 1. Can anyone give any idea on repair cost? 2. Has anyone else been in this circumstance? Any advice greatly appreciated. I could really do with some helpful answers asap as they are looking at taking it away from me saying its unroadworthy and I can't have it back!!!!!! Thank you :) I love this car so much and want it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 they use 60% of its value, so that will get written off. They just value it based on book value, not retail, which is a bit crap. With the floor buckled i'ts not gonna be a cheap fix to do it properly. i'd be tempted to just strip it, but personaly i wouln't put it back ont he road, just not wirth the cost. as far as getting the car back, if its a 3d party, aka not your insurance, paying out then the car still belongs to you to do as you please.
