Proving Value to Insurer

Post by jackblanco1 »

Hi Guys,

I recently had an incident with another driver, both cars sustained minimal damage... I have a dented wing and a cracked grille

But... the insurance company is trying to write my car off! I need help proving the value of my 1989 Polo Saloon is above £2200, it has 77k miles and is in very good condition.

any words of advice on this? is there somewhere I can get a valuation?

thanks

Look for vehicles that are for sale on auto trader or other sites, this will give you an idea of what these older car are actually selling for .

Insurers will always want to write off a car if they can nowadays even for minor damage
