ah right, coz Halsalls always used to use Speed Medical and their panel for experts. I wasnt on their team so I never knew what they were like, only that they needed a dedicated team to handle there work!

Insurance company wrote off the car today... Offered me £850...  Any words of advice on how to increase this offer would be appreciated..

Cheers

Send them any photos of your car that support your claim that your car is worth more than the offer and get a few Golf mags and cut out the adverts for cars that are close to yours in condition, age and miles. Explain that your not trying to just get as much as you can out of them but your trying to show what it will cost you to replace your car with one of similar age and condition ect.

Also try and buy it back for a small sum. Strip it down and keep what you want or sell bits off.

£855 was with me keeping the car... they recon its worth £900.. then minus £45 for salvage value.. so meaning i keep the car.

Im probably gonna keep it, do the work that needs doing then do an engine conversion in my spare time.

mk2's take shunts from the rear admirably nowt a mobile jig wont be able to sort out cheapish if you do decide to keep it dont they like make you a lousey first offer or summat?

[Thom89]

Generally first offer will be 15-20% under what they will actually pay.. the offer sounds pretty good tbh, maybe stick out for another £100.. and be done with it..

my wife was hit at about 40 my a discovery, she was stationery too.
She was driving my old 406 and was wrote off, nothing left of the rear end!

I can't believe the Mk2 has got off so lightly!

she was in a new BMW mini, and didnt see me right until the last minute.. i think where her car dipped so much as she braked so hard the impact was very low on my car.. thats all I can think it was.
