Insurance Claim - wright-off

[samnorthy]

So it would appear a sight mishap with a ADNOC road tanker has resulted in the Evora requiring a new wheel and rear clam.

The insurance is yet to confirm, but looks like the car will be getting written-off.

Does anyone have any experience of dealing with this kind of claim here? The car is insured fully Comp with Axa - I guess I'm dreaming if I think they are going to write a cheque for the insured amount. Will they evaluate the market value (same as they would in the UK)? Do we get to challenge the value they give?

Is it possible to buy the car back from the insurance company? The damage is minimal cosmetic and would be an easy repair in the UK - my thoughts would be to buy the car back and sell in Europe once repaired (with full disclosure to the potential buyer).

Any advice welcome

Had a call last night and yes they have written off the car, should get a claim offer within the next few days.


Thanks for the heads up re the sneaky conditions that they try to apply - I'll keep an eye out for that.

I want to buy back the car, the damage is minimal - the little information I could get out of them last night indicated I'd need a trade licence to buy the car off them.
