The a4 2.8q was classed as a total loss, and i have a choose of either, the car back with £1,386 (which is -23% of the overall offer to be exact, as per the valuers calculation) OR £1,800. This is the slighty annoying part the labour was £987, and 2 scratched wheels were £480,out of the total estimate of £2,332,hence the reason for "total loss"
As it was a cat C ,i would need to have it repaired to get it back on the road, and have a VIC (vehicle identity check) done ,then the possible problem of re-insuring it?. I know that it could probably be repaired fairly cheaply but i don't think i can be bothered and it gives me a chance to change the car
, whilst getting a half decent price for it.
the a4 has 190,000 miles on so in all honesty £1,800
i don't think is that bad a deal??, + it's a buyers market at the moment, so i am probably edging towards taking the money and running, what do you think?
