Write off

Post by corsadeb »

My corsa has just been noted as a cat C write off the chasis is bent back bumper smashed and metal panel on the inside bent allso the boot doesnt shut. want help badly! spent so much on the car is it worth repairing if so how hard is it going to be? or am i best just getting rid of it? at the moment scraping and selling parts is the best option i can only get 480 off the insurance!

strip it and scrap mate. no point fixing it cause in the long run youll never get your money back escpecially that its a cat c write off no one would want it. you could always get the money then buy it back off them for half the price i think it is then strip then scrap youll get more money for it :P

it depend how much it owes you and that, because you dont have to tell any1 its a write off unless they ask you wen you selling it, if its a rear ender as long as it hasnt kinkd the 1/4 panels it should be a rather simple repair with right tool etc
