My car got totalled in an accident, insurance comp
« on: 12 July 2011, 03:50:54 »

I have a 1993 Nissan NX which was in a decent condition and never gave me any problems. Recently it got rear-ended. The other party's insurance took the responsibility and asked me to get an estimate. The estimate says the repair costs are about $5000 and the mechanic thinks the insurance company will buy the car from me. What price would they pay me for the car?

I am a student and wasn't planning on buying a new car. What price should I be happy with. I paid about $2800 8 months ago for the car. Would they be willing to negotiate. If yes, how do I negotiate?

different ins companies have different views, but most big names would give you 3 offers,1st being the lowest, and 3rd being the highest and best price their willing to pay.  :y

Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure on how it works for you. The above is for a uk insurer

The IP address and email addy point to a spammer, so think this thread is somewhat spurious and therefore locking.

If the OP wants to discuss the matter, PM me.   :)
