- E350cdi coupe sport obs black
Guys opinions/advice needed please.. basically in a nutshell, I had an accident back in November and the third party have accepted liability.. my car (2011 e350 coupe 77k miles) was taken to mb inchape accident centre and they have come back with an eye watering figure of approx £9500 BUT the car is worth approx £11,000 on glasses guide for a private sale.. However aviva are valuing the car at £14.5k which is baffling me.. their engineer wants to strip back everything to look for further damage.. accident happened at low speed and their is more cosmetic damage than structural damage eg smashed front left lights but front left axel damage as steering out.. I want rid of the car and would prefer a write off rather than repair and then start afresh as the car will not be the same again especially after strip down! Where do I stand with aviva? TIA
