Hiya,
Newbie here so apologies in advance.
Some rotter damaged my vehicle whilst it was parked overnight on the road outside my house and left no note/contact details, so I'm having to claim on my Admiral insurance (lose 2 years no claims plus £250 excess).
The damage was to three panels (door, both wheel arches) plus wing mirror casing (the glass is fine). Pics show detail.
The car is 62 reg, 1.2 pop, 32329 miles and I'd say has current value of around £4000 - £4300.
My question is, do you think this damage will lead to a Cat D write off? I have GAP insurance and finance through Fiat (I think the remaining balance is about £4000).
Might the cost of replacing panels, plus labour, plus courtesy car add up to more than the ££ calculated using the repair to value ratio?
