Clio 172 Mk2
Wife came in from work on friday with the car smashed in from behind. Most importantly, she is fine, but the car is not so good - superficially, the car doesnt look too bad, with the intact but pushed in, and the tailgate a bit mangled, but upon opening the boot Ive realised the boot floor is crumpled. Car drives OK apart from the rattling exhaust, and perhaps the car feels a little `nervous` over bumps - probably in my mind!
I contacted my insurance company, who were excellent - they booked the car into the garage, and got in touch with the car rental company, so that when the car does go in, I have a decent replacement car. The thing is - the 3rd party`s insurance contacted me stating the driver has admitted full liability, and wish to deal with it much like my insurance company offered - do I accept their offer or stick with my insurance? Ironically, my insurance company (More Than) is part of the same group as the 3rd partys insurance (Royal Sun Alliance)
Also, my car is a bit old now - Clio 172 (2002) with almost 90,000miles - do you reckon it might be written off?
