Anyone know the point where they will write your car off instead of fix it??

For example... if the car is worth £2,000 how much will they spend to fix it rather than write it off??

I've been told they will only fix up to 1/3 of the value??

 

i thought it was 2/3

i think you can fight it out with them
few years back i had £800 xr2i

it needed whole door and painting down the side think it cost in excess of £1000


didnt get written off tho lol

just had chat with the bloke, said it was my pride and joy etc and it must of worked!!!

Well i've been quoted around £800-£1000 between 3 garages for my door to be fixed... and i'm worried they will write it off!

I dont know what market value is for 1991 Fiesta RS's in good condition tho!

 

needed an agreed value because in reality look every old ford the market value is sod all... altho there is still good condition fiestas goin for 3-4k

where are you based because that seems a high price i think

it is just a door or quarter panel to???

where are you based

Well its the door thats damaged and the rear quarter.... it needs a new door skin... rear arch repairing.... and the mouldings need replacing.... then spraying door and rear....

APR in Ruislip have quoted £576.00 plus parts (possible moulding, O/S Door Poser Moulding and O/S Door Membrain) plus paint, materials and sundry items..

Then Riverside in Uxbridge have quoted the below....



Now i'm just waiting on Horton Road Body Shop in Yiewsley cause they always do the work on my cars... they're sending me a quote today

 

My repair costs were £1800 not incuding parts etc....(most quotes are just for labour and materials, so bare that inmind ) so it came out at £3000, my insurnace sent an inspector round, and they said it's a write off even tho i had reciepts for over 8k

In the end we settled by cash in lieu , they gave me £1600 and i had to repair the car myself

and the car was not put on the register.

 

how bad was the fiesta sassy? have you got pics?


pic and choose your repairer carefully miss festa turbo because they are a few who wont value your car like you do and will do a job to match!!

carl

 

Well they would only give me book value 2.5k ( & thats classing it as excellent conditon and Mines had ££££££'s spent, I had to fight for my car but in the end i got my way

 

SassyRS has recommended me to APR so i think they'll be ok!

I dont think insurance will write it off.... hopefully not anyway!

I had to battle it out with insurance when someone hit my Nova... but i got my own way!

Its not like i'm askin for them to spend 2k on it! Only 1k!

 

 

Mines going back on the 10th for some TLC, it may see yours there

 

The guys there said they are booking for 2 weeks time So i reckon i'm looking at about 3 weeks at least.... and thats if the woman hurries up and says its her fault! I havent even heard from her insurance yet!
