I have just spoken to the insurance assessor, who said it "should be a categoy D write -off as you can no longer get a boot floor for this particular make of car." The cost of the repairs are apparently 3800. After stating that I do not want the car written of, well pleading actually I asked if it is possible to pull out the crease. They have stated that they will try their best but its 50/50. They have offered me 4000 fot the car which I have stated is unacceptable. I asked if they could get a 2nd hand boot floor, but he said if they could it would mean cutting it out even if they could get one and that didnt appear to be an option. I then asked if the worse comes to the worse could I buy it back as salvage and repair it myself, the cost of which for salvage would be 800 . Could anyone out there offer some advice on what to do next. I really would love to get my car back on the road , I even asked if I could pay the difference to get it fixed (fool) and he said that it wouldnt come to that. He seemed a reasonable guy .but maybe Im just a soft touch. Please please help. He is going to call me back in the middle of next week and let me know whats happening. I want to be prepared.And could I get a boot floor somewhere?
