Squire_Dawson Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Very sorry to hear about this. There may be a psychological impact in driving a repaired car where you feel it's not the same as it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 At least here, it would not be a write-off: Good condition 6400 - 8600 Euro for a good 525eta. And that prices are realistic. My brother in law is collecting E24 and E28, so I know a bit from his stories. I hope you get it repaired, not crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisfan Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Thanks for all the advice, the car is being written off, I don't want it after what had happened , I'm dealing with other more important issues at the moment so this needs to be as easy as possible trigger and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Be aware that (AFAIK) you are obliged to declare to your current or any future insurer that you have made an insurance claim for the next 5 years, even though it wasn't your fault. I found out the hard way when my old Mondeo was hit by a bus at one of our depots. My employer paid me out a cheque for £350 no bother (the fair value of the car), but then my insurer bumped my premiums for the next two years, so I was pretty much back where I started, only with a cracked bumper on my Mondy that I had to re-gaffer-tape every 6 months. I would ring your insurer, inform them of the no-fault accident, enquire if / how much they intend to bump your premium for the next 5 years, and add that sum on to your claim from the third party's insurer.

omegod Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 If you'd of had space and the buyback was cheap enough that would have broken handsomely for profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughant Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 We've been through this both ways and quite rightly as mentioned above, your premium will go up. I also agree that getting it written off would be the best option in this case, you'll get a decent payout I'm sure and a car of that age there often hidden issues that only show up after a bump. Screw them for everything you can because they will fit the next few years I'll guarantee it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
