Anyone got access to the CAP guide who can help me out?

Bad accident yesterday. My fault. Car is certainly written off. I'm now without a car. I understand insurers use this to value cars. I need to know how much money I will likely have to play with. I've checked the free options with parkers and glass. However I'm told most use CAP.


If anyone can help me out I'll happily give a few quid to charity or something. Just panicking now as I need a car for work so am stressed.

Car was nothing special. Was not the best in the country. But it was all I had. I'm more annoyed about hurting my partner than losing the car.

This is a pretty shameless bump. But does anyone know if the guides take into account options like cruise and parking sensors?

They do take them into account, yes, if they're factory-fit. Aftermarket is a different kettle - assuming they've been declared to the insurer.

PM sent.

Really appreciate the help guys.

With regards to what happened. I misjudged something, ended up hitting a tree and sending the car in the air into a bridge which took out the top of that and landed us in a river. Fortunately it rolled over onto the wheels again. Police were very good. Emergency services were very good. Can't really fault anyone apart from myself.

Yeh, that'll be a write-off.

Thanks to the guyss who have helped me out via PM. The car has been assigned to a salvage company by insurers. And it's worth slightly more than I thought. So that is one positive to this whole thing. Both glass and CAP seem to agree about the value - so even without considering the cruise, and reverse parking sensors I'll be happy with the sort of settlement those figures suggest. Just need to find another car now as I cannot get a courtesy car as they think it will be written off.
