Hey guys
Can someone help here.
I have a friend who's car is a 2000 Peugeot 106 (only 44k miles). A woman drove into her driver side door last week. She's admitted full liability. As she's got a hire car through her insurance plus the cost of new parts to repair it the insurance have deemed it a Total Loss as it's an uneconomical repair.
They've valued it as £1269 (a lot more than she was expecting) if she scrapped it, but have also given an option to have the car back (so I can arrange repairs myself) & they'll give her £1,041 (the bit that sounds too good to be true). Been told she can probably get a new door for £60 so just need to pay for fitting & respray to match the car colour.
Just want someone to confirm this is the typical thing they do & that she won't be stung somewhere. Also if it’ll affect the price if she sells it in future (category D stuff etc).
Anyone got any history here?
