Criteria for a write off

[barrym381]

Everyone is saying it's a write off, when it's the insurer who decides, they don't always make sense when it comes to repair as in my case and it was the rear corner and quarter that was damaged on mine. They still repaired it.

Even you said would be classed as a write off (unless your the claims assessor, how can you know?)

claim assessor has nothing to do with it he just sends a report of cost and damage to insurance company  and did they replace your panels or repair them

He does have a major part in it actually!

I deal with them on average once or twice a month and they have the authority to say yes to a repair or not.

Saying that, you are right in some occasions, sometimes they won't use one and sometimes they even just send a photographer and decide for themselves.

great you deal with them once a month  I deal with them everyday so know they have nothing to do with it they just write an assessment on damage and cost the insurance do the rest

They probably get it from insurance company 1st  and in writing do you get that through the post

THAT is a write off?!

Jesus, if someone sneezed on my mk2 they would write it off then

That's what agreed value classic policies are for. If my Mk2 got in a scrape, I'd get £50 for it as a write off payout on a run of the mill policy. As it is, I have it insured for an agreed value quite a bit higher than that.
