I'm getting a new car tomorrow.........

Yup. A right off makes the difference.

Do you mean makes a difference to the insurance or to the practicality of fixing it?

If the insurance, i'm not saying it is £750 for that particular car, it is just generally £750 for a standard 16v.

[DarnPB]

A written off car is harder to sell on again, and if being sold on, it needs to be disclosed. So unless you intend keeping it, it's best to use it as you intend to. Spares and breaking.
Re-insuring it once it is repaired is not a problem I don't think, but I seem to remember that if you repair it yourself, it would need inspecting by an independant garage. I MAY BE WRONG, so someone correct me if I am.

[Mew]

Yeah sure, i realise all of that. I just wasn't sure if you were referring to the insurance or if it was worth fixing when you said "a write off makes the difference". 

Anywho, selling it in bits will hopefully mean i'll make some more money back on it, which is nice!

not that relevant but i got a quote for a vr6 over a 16v mk3 and was 35 a month more, crazy its same group as well

once a car is written off it needs a vic check to make sure it is not someone trying to use a stolen car as one that was written off
that is what was said to my dad when he had his car written off but kept it
he had to apply for a new log book and have a vic check at his expense

[Chris-White]

Stunning.

note cups of tea have already made there way onto this car.
