WRX Wagon - write off?

[economicpygmy]

Rear ended on the motorway at the weekend ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ).

- Boot floor crumpled and it also looks like sides of boot have been pulled together resulting in the lights not fitting.
- ARB, bracket and mount bent.
- Exhaust bent.
- Rear subframe has been pushed together where the exhaust has been pushed back, but only slightly.

Anyone know a good place to see if its repairable in the south west?

It took me months to find this car: last of the 2.0l, Prodrive, blue, low miles, and a wagon is not a common combination!

Its a 2005 so low tax band too and had Prodrive bits. Very low miles for the age. I will try to buy back if the price is reasonable. I really liked the car as it did everything.

What I know is going to be irritating is the fact that the default insurance value for the car is low vs. reality. I set the value with my own insurance and had paid extra for a 20% uplift on that value so I could replace like for like.

Need to get some quotes for the TP insurance company but not sure where from.

Looks like a 03/04 wagon? Afraid to say it will most likely be a write off as repair will be uneconomical (more than 30% of car's value). Think the car would be worth around the £4k mark, at least hoping it's around this as I am possibly going to be selling mine next year. Repair will be a couple of grand at a good body shop at a rough guess.

05, 50k, prodrive wagon. Cant find any WRX similar for anywhere near 4k. And its a wagon so cant find anything similar at all. Concerned aswell if they repair it will devalue. Im not the sort of person to lie about accident damage if I sold it on.

Good luck with the sale.

the price to buy it back should be about 8% of the payout value. Thats what happened with my Forester in January

Thanks for the info. Im considering all my options as it will be a write off.
