Stelios Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I initially accepted a payment in lieu but the garage has since found more damage. The insurance company are about to write it off (cat d) and pay me the difference. I would like to buy the car back because it is completely driveable but my insurance company sound like they don't want to sell the car back to me! Can I insist on buying the my car back as salvage and at what percentage of the value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you can 'insist' stelios because if the car is written off it becomes the insurance company's property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Might depend on what you have already agreed in the policy: I have salvage rights for my classic, though not for my tintops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 As a Cat D I'd guess he intends to get it repaired, or do it himself. It's only a write off down to cost, not safety. If your insurance company won't sell it back, find out from the garage which salvage place takes it and get in touch privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Just keep on at the insurance company. It will save them time, money and paperwork if you buy it back. They gave me salvage value (£175) for my damaged 306, which went on to sell for £750 on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
