I was involved in an accident this morning and it's probably my fault. Long story short, my 2001 hag XKR convertible looks like it is going to be written off. There's serious damage to at least 4 panels, broken glass etc, steam coming from the engine so almost certainly damage in the engine bay and lord know what other unseen damage. It was relatively low speed but still a lot of damage. (I'm ok but feel
in case anyone was worried...!)
Anyway, the insurance company (who have collected the car) say that the default position on cars 10 years old is to write them off. I would say they are probably right and it is uneconomical to repair. They are getting an assessor to look at it in the next 4 or 5 days.
Anyone know what happens now? I guess they will make me an astonishingly low offer? Do I have to take it? How do you value a car? What are my options?
Any help appreciated thanks.
