hello I would like a bit of advice on dealing with an insurance claim
from anyone who has been in a similar position.
I was involved in an accident and the other persons insurance has accepted full responsibility.
My car a Fiat Stilo 1.7 petrol 2002 with 62000 on the clock is in pretty good condition. I have just taxed it for another 6 months and was hoping to run it until the tax runs out before looking for another car.
The insurance guy at aviva said that usually with a car of that age they just offer a cash write off and then take the car. I asked if it would be possible to offer them something for my car and keep it. They are sending an engineer to inspect the car.
It has mainly drivers door damage and a little front wing and rear door.
Drivers door now has a small gap at the top from the main body.
So it would be respray of 3 panels I don't know if it would mean a completely new door. I am driving the car at the moment.
Looking on ebay and autotrader the fiat prices seem to vary quite a lot.
Anywhere from about £600-£1500.
Any advice on best way to handle this?
