Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral do i salvage my car

i recently crashed my civic and the insurance told me it was a write off. but i can buy it bak, if i dont i will just buy another 1 neway, wen i first got it i had 2 tidy it up a bit, i spent money on a proffesinal vallet and i cleaned the engine bay, cant decide wot 2 do, ne comments welcome

How much do they want for it and whats the damage to it ?

I know allot of people who strip the car for parts and sell them via forums or good old e-bay....

Depends if you have anywhere to do this and if you can be bothered really.....

they want £275 if i buy it bak, needs new front bumper,driver side headlight, and new bonnet but if i did get it bak id put carbon bonnet on and morrete headlights because id have extra ££££ because ive not bought a new 1.

Its a golden oppertunity to modify the car and end up quids in.

What catagory write off is it ? C or D ??

If its Cat D then thats okay, if its Cat C then it would need a VIC Check before getting the log book back.

i think it must just be cat d cas it's not that badly damaged, just matter of replacing things, the insurance fella did say it was worth £900 tho which was ok cas i payed £800 4 so it gon up in value

Spoon front bumper, your morrettes and carbon bonnet. There ya go lad, you've just payed for all that with your £900 of insurance money! Can find you a spoon front bumper, primed, for about £200. If you want me to just say the word

Fastcarz sell carbon bonnets on the cheap, have a look at their sponsers link on the site.

All well and good buying it back but the chances of the car "feeling" the same again are slim to none. After i had a non-fault accident in the green escort it was repaired by a pro coachworks bodyshop at a cost of nie-on 3 grand but it eat felt wierd and eat suspension components and tires all the time after that,i had the tracking done once a month from different places but to no avail.Up to u but after my previous experience i wud never own a crashed car again

im guna let it go an get a new 1 been lukin at the VTI just worried bout insurance
