ShiftySpinks Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Hi guys has anyone ever had dealings with what an insurance company pay out for a previously wrote off car? My 350 was a cat d last year and i made a booboo on a corner and have bumped my car. Just curious how much they'll knock off the current market value. Its a 54 plate gt with 43,000 on the clock cat D Edited August 1, 2013 by ShiftySpinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 £4K? That's a punt, could be as low as £3K. How much did you pay for it, and when did you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftySpinks Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well i bought it from a salvage auction in a very bad state for £2800 in january but the guy before me paid £8000 6 months before i bought it as a solid car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techinstaller Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 you can expect a payout of 20% less than the standard non cat recorded price in most case,you will probably still be able to push against first low offer from the insurance claim handler who's job it is to try and settle at lowest cost to the company negotiation is wise and expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftySpinks Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeh i think i'd be happy with my money back but we'll see what they offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
