Insurance want to write off my mk2 can anyone help

[Sgt_Lemon]

Some arsehole hit into the back off me waiting at a roundabout. I have a f**ked rear bumper and the rear panel under the boot is dented. Because of the age of the vechile an insurance recommended retail price is non existent. I need good estimates that favour the car, the damage is bumper and rear panel. Save my car please. Will get picks soon as

If the car is actually a minter then you can fight it to prove its worth but if its just an avg mk2 do as above!

It's a mint 8v gti. Near perfect body and paint. High mileage but runs like a dream

Why ever didn't you get an agreed value insurance policy?

Hindsight eh, I just wanted the cheapest insurance.

what you need to do is then get an agreed cost of repair, dont take it to the insurance's recommended bodyshop. and also prove the worth of your car, start scanning, printing, copying adverts of similar cars to yours

so for example, you then go to insurance and say lets agree on £500 to repair the car, its worth £2000. they send you out a cheque you repair the car yourself, everyone is happy & your car aint wrote off!
