    Write-off value when car is already cat D

    My trusty 2001 C class is going to be a total loss after someone crashed into me. I am claiming directly off his insurance, but my car is already a cat D. Planning on trying to keep hold of the car for now as it is still driveable, allowing me to look for a W212 estate over my Christmas...

    Strange Cat-D write-off question.

    A couple of months ago, just before my MOT, a van reversed into me at a junction. It was fairly low speed and all that happened to my CLK 230 was a few scuffs on the top of the bumper, chips in the small bumper surround and a few tiny chips in the topcoat on the very edge bonnet. I was impressed...

    Write-off ... ?

    A lady rear-ended my 2001 C270 (W203) saloon a week ago. The impact wasn't that great but the offside rear quarter panel is a bit crumpled and I suspect that, when the insurance company's engineer gets sight of it, the result will be a write-off. :wallbash: Anticipating this, I'm looking at...

    Bought a pig in a poke?

    Can anyone help shed some light? I have just tried to P/ex my SLK200K against a newer C Class Coupe but the dealer discovered that my car was listed as a write off (cat D). When I bought the SLK I was told that it had been HPI checked. I feel pretty dumb for trusting him when he told me that...

    Legal obligation to declare a write-off?

    Does anyone know whether a car dealer has a legal obligation to declare whether a car they are selling has previously been written off? A friend has just discovered that a car she bought from a very well known classic/sports car dealer was previously stolen and written off. She paid £38k for...

    Another insurance write-off valuation question

    Anyone had any experience in dealing with insurance companies and negotiating on vehicle valuations in the event of a write-off? I've been asked to submit a couple of examples of C43's of similar spec and mileage to my insurers as evidence of the fact i think their 'market' value is well under...

    Surely not a write-off???

    Long story short but my wife drives over to see me in Spain with the kids in our car. Some scrote breaks in and takes the ABS, TC unit/controller/pump from under the bonnet (cuts through the brake lines and unscrews the brackets...takes the brackets!). Insurance company is taking the approach...

    Write-off or what?
