Rear-end repair costs

[Tyler897]

Hi folks,

Took a bit of a bump from the rear the other day and was looking to see if anyone could give a rough estimate as to what repair costs could potentially be..

There will be a lot more damage that you can't see without a proper examination.
Dependant on the total damage and the age of the car it could well be a write-off.

Agreed.

I'd hazard there's damage to the boot floor which would be hard/costly to correct so would more than likely be a write off. My Sister-in-law suffered similar damage to her 2 year old lease Peugeot & that was written off.

There appears to be damage to the roof skin so i'd expect its toast.

Looks like a ripple in the roof doesn't it?

That, plus the boot floor = economic write off.

With a proper assessment/estimate it's a gonner
