This is the damage done there is some interior boot damage 2 but didnt have the keys on me

Gutted for you mate, no-one likes to see their car get bent. I know all too well!

French cars and their soft metal :rolleyes: It's amazing how it managed to crease the rear arch, just goes to show how soft the metal really is!

Close up taken to the extreme,dont look too bad that mate,but if its creased the boot floor that might mean write off? gutted

ye the told me tday writen off arguing over the price with them, a job for the loyers

Did you declare the mods?

this has been cleared up he is not claiming from his insurance company so mods dont have to be declared.

Well just 2 let you know wots happening, esure have offerd me £1700 and i can keep the car. but i dont realy want a £1700 and a messed up car lol and they say the car is only worth £1700 when scooby the usedcars sales man said its worth 2250 at 68000 (mines done 53,000) so they cancled ma courtesy car the ***** and my soliciter has sent round some independant car valuers round to look at the value. fkn annoying....

1700 quid?? id tell em where to stick it,what reg is it to be worth anywhere less than 3k?

s Reg mate, ive seen my car on autotrader for £2400-2600, and mines got tints etc. thridparty Estimaters came round2day waiting for that phonecall to see how much they value ma car

Take £2k and the car

Spend £50 on a bumper the same colour, pop the rear pannel out and carry on driving it £1950 better off

itll then be known to all insurance companies at a "written off" car and will cost a fair percentage more than an identical car that hasnt been spanked,and the rear geometry may be out

thats not true m8, depends on wot class write off it is

Well, the siliciter sent some assessors round 2day and they said the most i could get without takin the piss would be 2250 thats with ma mods on!

I still dont like that price but i dont think theres much more i can do...

i dno if i wud get to keep the car with that price either, just out of curiosity how much do u rkn i could sell my car for in the current state it is O.o. mb if i could keep the car take the £1700 and then try sell the car 2 some1 who wants it for spares or sumit O.o

From the pics I've seen imho I think you could repair that for less than £500. Is it drivable? is the boot floor ok? Take it to sprayforce and get a quote, you might be surprised! Once it's fixed, either keep it or sell it for £3K, then you'd have a nice £4200 wad squashed in your back pocket for a decent project

The bloot floor is ok, but the inside back bit of the boot is bent, (the inside bit on the right of the megane badge in pic 1 of the damages). the exhaust needs fixing cos its bent lol! so thats £100 so if it could get fixed for say £700 ( allowing felxibility). ive just had a proper look on autotrader and i dont think with it being fully repaird i could get more than £2100. and itl be classed written off so probs wont make much. dno...... nice thaught though
