Finally heard back from the insurance today, its mixed news really. The car is a write off...repairs would cost around the 4k mark, but they are willing to pay me the trade price of the car. After assessing the damage and the state of the car the offer made to me was £4,200 minus my excess which was £550 so i will have £3650 to put towards a new car!
I am sad because i did love that car and the colour! But am going to take this as a learning experiance and hopefully return with an even better Golf. Just gutted that the cars is going to scrap..i will let you guys now where it goes as its grade A salvage material!
So the hunt begins! i'll keep you guys posted...and would appreciate if you guys would let me know of any motors you see (especially in grey!) has to be 1.8t with AUM engine though!
