Accident options

[Stueeee]

if they do write it off and we buy it / fix it, he will probably never be able to insure it as it will be a CAT? whatever and his insurance will now be through the roof

If it is a write off with the damage you describe it should be a Cat N -non structural- My partner's car was written off with a fair bit of panel damage. Bought it back from the insurance company as salvage, got it repaired with used panels, needed a new MOT. Wasn't a problem to re-insure it full comp afterwards.

re insuring should not be a problem at all, future write off value will be lower due to this write off or buy back......

Boys agreed to let me do the talking - bloody first!

Golden rule for this situation... if you have to hit something make sure it's the offending vehicle....

Unless it's into the back of it....
