Write off ?

Irrelevant of how well its fixed its not as it was new is it? so there for worth less.

Going to nitpick here.
Unless you have to straighten out the shell, if you just throw away all the old parts and repair it with brand new ones, it's going to be just like new, and certainly better than it was before with the used parts.

That's how cars under warranty are repaired - if any part is damaged, they just bin it and get a new one.

Mine has been written off twice in it's history but I never intend on selling so not too fussed, last time it was a slight rear end bump not at all bad but loss adjusters just can't be ar*** to work things out so they just take the path of least resistance, Dogs all of em.

Depending on the insurance co. You can 'buy them off" I had a customer who had booked there F360 spider in for a service but an uninsured driver shoved it into a wall outside the guys house. Anyway the car was 'written off' they offered him the car back at x amount and for x amount more it would be unregistered as a write off???? Salvage is very profitable if you know the right person (as with most things) anyway long and short of it they dragged it out as long as possible and they "retained" the vehicle and someone made a lot of money. At the time was a 50k car. Was 7k to repair and it pretty much disappeared! !!!!

There's nothing right about insurance mate - legalised theft
