Hello,
A bit of a strange question. I have an Audi A6 TDI (as well as a Merc) and the auto gearbox has gone on it. Audi wanted £7k to change it and a gearbox specialist near where I live wanted nearly £4k to fix it. There are no used ones anywhere, and trust me I've looked everywhere!
The price to change the gearbox is just over half the valve of the car.
The car is worth about £7.5k (if that).
There is no point fixing the car, and the rapair is more than 50% the price of the car. Obviously this is an uneconomical repair. Can I claim on the insurance for this and write the car off? Is this possible?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
