UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Its been over 2 months since my insurance company agreed to fix the damage on my car. Since them ive been waiting for a comformation fax to be sent to my dads bodyshop. After ringing once or twice a week for the last 2 months they say it will be sorted this week.

Well my dad gets a phone call this morning saying that there has been a mistake, and they think the car is worth £450. Which is a p*** take IMO. Thing thats pissed me off the most is, ive been hanging around for 2 months, every time i ring it was the same old s**t "sorry about this, were currently following it up" And now autumn is setting in with the heavy rain etc, i have discovered the boot area of my car (which is still a mess) has turned into a sive, and there was anough water in the boot and under the rear seats for a small child to paddle in.

So now theres an assessor coming down thursday to have a look at the car. He wants proof the car is worth more than they say it is, basically he wants some print outs of Polo GT's for sale with a decent price tag, my dad rekons that they are just looking at a normal mk 3 CL or something. If anyone could help me with this matter, i would be very pleased. I think ill include some pics of the car looking its best too. Anything else i can do?

Cheers Nick

P.S: Sorry about the length of the thread.

i no the £450 valuation is crap but all they do is look @ a price guide. When my old GT was written off all i was offered was £500, even tho the guy who assessed the car admitted it was in top condition (obv excluding the crash damage) it really jst does suck

is the damage bad? how did it happen?
