Do you think my car wil be a write off?? (picture heavy)

[STV4R]

So the other day i was at work and my car was parked at the side of my caravan in our yard. When some prick fell asleep at wheel of his car on the M23 and came
down this private road

Through this fence

into this barrier, into the car, the caravan

then eventually into my car



The damage after it was removed



Now my car has been taken to apollo motorgroup in horsham, where it is been looked at and a estimation for repair has been sent to the pricks insurance company. I really do not want my car to be written off i've only owned it since November.
So i rang them today for some info and find out how much their estimation is what they sent to the pricks insurance company. Their cost for repair is going to be around £5.500....
so do you guys think they pay to get it repaired or write it off?

That looks terrible!!
I would say there is a good chance it will a write off due to the cost of repairs

I'm no expert on these things at all but on a brief glance through the pics, I'd be very surprised if they don't write it off given the spread of panel and body damage? Could be wrong.

With anything valued under £15k, it doesn't seem to take too  much to be written off in today's world.

Very unlucky as an experience though dude

Yeah, I also think its likely to be written off due to extent of damage and cost of repairs :(

Personally think they'll write it off mate, what are the chances of that happening!? Lucky no one was in it or getting something out the boot when that came ploughing in.

Thanks guys
If it's wrote off you think i should buy it back off the insurance company?

[marko]

Holy sh*t...thats crazy!!!!

That's unreal    I would think that's finished mate

[George10]

sh*t!!

They will probably write it off, but I wouldn't buy it back if they do. Cars with a cat against there name are a killer to pass on after.

Not much chance lol. The copper said he never had a crash there before and he been working that area for 25 year
And someone was in that caravan watching tv right at that window, he very lucky to be alive. If the barrier wasn't there to take most the impact the car would have went straight through caravan and him.
The driver who caused this was lucky too, he got out the car (green honda civic) with not a scratch on him.
Unreal

Man this is harsh! Feel sorry for you big time!

What speed was he doing?

Hope you get a good payout for your car as I don't think they will repair.

That sucks :( I can't believe a car did this!i was assuming it was a lorry!

[Birk]

A write off has to be 75% of the value of the car, so I'd say on that basis, it will be written off.

Buy it back off the insurance, get paid out for a new car and I'll buy the damaged car off you :)

Have no idea what speed he was doing, but for little car like his to do all that damage he must off been doing at least 90

Im thinking of buying it back. new wing mirror, door, sideskirt, rear bumper, side panel thingy, dint out the passenger side and resprayed she be good as new ha.
Even if i were to strip it and sell everything i think i could still make a profit. Its quite a high spec gti. Think the only extras it didn't come with from factory were
sunroof and xenon headlights, which i just bought for it a few days ago ;-(
