Peugeot 1007 - Car Written-off - Shel19

Hi, someone banged into my car when it was parked. The guy left his insurance details. But the car has been said to be a write-off. I was wondering what is the best thing to do as my car is only worth about 1000 pounds and I don't really have money to buy another one? Thanks

Depends on the "bang".

If the car's OK bar a thump in the side, settle with the insurers for the full value minus the residual value of the car and keep it. Then get the damage knocked out on the cheap for cash and keep using it.

If the car's a "real" write-off (i.e. the damage is extensive) there's not a lot you can do.

I would concur. It doesn't take much to write a car off now with the cost of bodywork, if it still drives OK I would keep it.
