Magnet Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hello Susan, How much have your insurers offered you, and what damage has been caused by the accident? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 When I had a similar situation, I've found 3 cars of same age with close to the mileage as yours as possible. To prove the value. I even sent proof of service history over an 18 month period for my A6 when it was hit from behind and insurance company paid out top wack due to condition, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Possibly best to have Susan’s insurance offer before progressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Hall Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Copart have offered £1945, my husband was hit passenger side at 60/70mph by a police 4x4, 200yd from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Hall Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Copart have told us to find like for like and will only accept like for like. I sent them what I could find including the one posted, won't accept it because its a man not auto. I can't find one that is the same.

Magnet Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hello Susan, Copart are being totally unrealistic in asking you for an exact-match example being offered for sale. There are so many parameters which make that an unreasonable requirement. ‘Hit … by a Police 4x4…’ Are the Police maintaining your husband was to blame for this in anyway, and if so, have/are they initiating prosecution? Kind regards, Gareth., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Hall Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Yes my car has gone to copart.it is them that has given me the price, of which I will never accept. Insurance company has passed the buck! Just wanted an idea on how much my car would have been worth? Before the accident. Or if you have any cars that match mine for sale on your site.

Magnet Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Thanks Susan, Some important progressive points remain unanswered, and if the hope was that someone on this site may have been advertising the same specification car for sale, then regrettably that isn’t so. Too late now - and hopefully not required by others at any time - never allow the insurers to remove/ obtain the salvage until a settlement figure has been agreed. I would be seeking advice at the CAB if I was in your situation. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. we take it you have done exhaustive Internet and publication searches for any for sale.
