An arsehole in a ford transit who doesn't look to see if people are slowing down in front of him in heavy b*****d traffic!!!!!

Aint got a clue, waiting for the garage to put an estimate together....you reckon it'll be a write-off like?!?!? The back left panel is creased aswell like!!

F**KING WHITE VAN MEN! I have a scratch on my front wheel arch due to a white van man cutting onto my lane on a roundabout (not quite the same scale i know) but they have no consideration.
 
I'm gutted for you mate, this almost happened to me on the way back from Glasto.

Fingers crossed for you.

Its a 55 plate, immaculate condition, but in real terms i.e. insurance terms not worth a lot. I'm guessing the car is worth maybe £7500?
 
ohhh nooo! what a to55er...beautiful car too.
depends if its more than 2/3 the value of the car to fix iirc.
I had a nasty taxi driver take out my 1/4 panal..that cost abot £1400 to fix alone..hopefully its not bent all the insides..but looks like it has tbh.
 
  It's A Reno
Sorry to see that pal.

Similar thing happened to me when the car was 6 months old:(
A guy in a Toyota smacked into the back of mine.

It creased the boot floor which they straightened, bent the rear panel which they replaced, bent the lip of the tailgate which they straightened and it needed a new rear bumper and a spray job.

All in it cost £1600, and that was at a Reno "really cheap lol" bodyshop so hopefully you may slip in to the repair bracket rather than write-off.

Just before it happened I got one of those 'senses' and looked in the rear view mirror.........the look on his face as he hurtled towards my car was a picture.:)

Write off?! Don't be silly.

It's a £7k car!

Even if there's £3k's damage there (which i don't think for a minute there is), it's borderline! I've been in that position before with my 172, and that was only worth half of your car! Are the rear quarters creased? Paint broken?

Gutted though fella.

Left side quarter panel is creased quite bad like, no paint broken though...

looks well repairable. TBH you can pretty much insist it's NOT written off and is returned to pre accident condition as it wasn't your fault

Ah gutted :(

But, £7.5k car, would have to be a 4.5/5k repair minimum to right it off - so hopefully (assuming you want it back?) it'll repair :)

Cheers for the input, will give you all an update when I hear from the repair centre.

One question I have though is that if I do get the car back fully repaired, I'm still going to lose out in the long run as I would have to declare the car as having been in an accident. I'm always seeing CatD cars on pistonheads going for way less then there clean record counter parts.

So basically whatever happens I'm screwed because of some pratt who wasn't paying attention!!

Cat D means its been written off, nothing will be recorded you haven't got to say a thing. And as long as its been repaired properly theres no problem with that imo.
