Does this look like a write off or repairable?

[1OS]

A friend was involved in an RTC and we were chatting about what'll happen to the car. I don't suppose any knowledgeable PHers know whether this is a write off or repairable?

The front of it is ruined with both headlights shattered all over the road, the radiator looks done for and I suspect engine mounts are broken etc. Would you say the insurance company is likely to write this off or is it repairable? I suspect that its definitely consigned to death, do any of you think there's a hope for this wee Polo?

[birdcage]

No hope whatsoever

[tyranical]

Definately no hope, that polo is probably worth what? 3000 tops? That looks like nearly 3000 worth of damage just from the outside.

Are you joking?!

ETA - hope your mate and all involved are OK.

Even with my own jig and second hand parts I wouldnt bother with that, sorry to say that would be a pointless exercise to repair.

That would write off a brand new Polo, let alone an old one.

We are all good thanks buddy. I live near the scene so I was able to run down the road and see what was going on. It was a good little runner before the crash. Something like a 2008 model with barely any miles.

thats going to the crusher no doubt about it! hope nobody was hurt

[TotalControl]

It's fubar. Leave it.

I suspected it'd definitely be getting squashed. Such a shame!
Nobody hurt in the crash, everyone walked out.

You would write this particular polo off with just a couple of large dents.

Where's spoon?!

There is no spoon!!

Looks dead as a dodo to me.

[missdiane]

I don't think I'd want that back, looks horrendous Glad all are OK

[Stinkfoot]

I expected it to have a dented wing and missing front bumper or something similar

That would write off most cars.

[greggy50]

Repairable? Lol just be glad everyone got away okay looking at it :/

To be honest I have a clio 172 worth about 2 - 2.5k going to be wrote off for a dent in rear 1/4 if go through insurance so fixing it myself

[Dids444]

I would say definitely dead OP

I had a front end smash in my Mk3 Mondeo, no where near as bad as yours but the front end was a mess and the air bags went off,. The repair bill was around 7.5k!! She went to the great scrapyard in the sky (shock)

[Backtobasics]

That'll take about 5 seconds to be assessed. Its done for.

Next stop.... Scrap yard

I suppose it'd be a nice idea to take him up on his offer of some team browsing the classifieds with a few drinks. Cheers for the input guys
