Hello,
Have just had the joy of getting a phone from the police advising me that my Punto 1.2 16v HLX (metallic blue body tone bumpers wing mirrors etc) has been broken into. On going out to inspect the damage, I've found:
Smashed in driver passenger window
Attempt to hotwire ignition - wires ripped
Right Indicator snapped off
Driver door - bent by the front wheel arch (must have been booted against its hinges) totally buckled and won't shut properly
I've been told the car's value (2000 vintage and 40,000 on the clock) is aprox £2400. I know absolutely feck all about cars but am wondering if it's likely the repair costs will exceed the value? I'm guessing yes, but would be pleased to hear what people who actually know what they're talking about Punto-wise reckon!
Many thanks
