Title: Insurance how does it go
Post by: Melvin084 on April 27, 2015, 04:26:31 pm

Having a bad day, somebody crashed into my beautiful golf 2 weeks ago now his insurance believe its too expensive to fix the car

Whats the process now?

They give me money for my car?

All my mods are still on the car, and these guys won't even answer the phone!

Sorry to hear that mate :(

What's the damage as you (or they) see it?
What's the age / mileage of your Mk5 K03 GTI?

So you get a payout and then buy it back for 10%?
Sounds like a good deal that, unless it's totally trashed.

if its cat C or D yeah usually they will let you buy it back of them for around 10% then you can either strip it for parts and sell them or put it back on road but will need to go through VIC check give them a shout
