Hi Guys,
Just had my car hit from behind with luckily what looks like just cosmetic damage, but I think I'm going have a hard time proving to my insurer the value of this car. I am very worried that if the bodywork repair comes to more than the value of the car I will lose it. Mechanically it is sound. Most estimation sites only put the car at around £500.
Would anybody be able to give me a rough idea of the value of the car? (Excuse the dirt, its been wet and muddy where I live for most of the spring!).
The car has been well maintained, passed MOT in February, and has been looked after in the family for 18 years. It has service history going back all this time and prior to this has not been involved in any accidents.
Downsides are it has 185,640 miles on the clock, and has general wear and tear on the bodywork expected for a car that is 23 years old, including some bubbling on the spoiler and rear offside upper panel.
I appreciate any help, cheers.
