The front end kit has now reduced by £400

[Fatneck73]

Written Off...confirmed. Cat S. Offerd £10830 which I rejected so we both went onto Autotrader, nearest ‘same-spec’ is £16999! Now waiting on them getting a bespoke valuation from Glasses as they agree it’s worth more than £10830.

Tbf, so far, they seem honest and fair...and ‘keen’ on giving me enough to be able to buy Anura

[DavidRS4]

Fingers crossed for you.

Thankfully I’ve not been in this position and glad your ok.
2 things often confuse me.
You provide a valuation for the car when insuring it... seems like that’s a waste of time! I always use autotrader as a proxy when renewing my quote...
Will you have a chance to buy it back? I’m not sure when this is an option or when it’s allowed... or how cheap.

What a piss take initial offer!

If you don't mind me asking who are you insured with ?

[Fatneck73]

Admiral...and so far, I’m ‘ok’ with them. Been great over the years...interested to see what they come back with.

That’s good to know - I’m with admiral and insured mine for 25k... I’m sure I’d be in tears if it got written off!!!

Sorry to see that car is a write off. Just thought I would post my experience with Admiral as they were very open to discussion and negotiation. Bought my daughter a Seat as her first car, bought privately for 2.7k. 4 days later she decided to do some off roading, Admiral wrote the car off and offered her 2.7k which was the price I had told them I had paid. Looking on autotrader I could not find another similar age, mileage etc, nearest was 3.6k. Phoned admiral and they agreed to pay 3.6k. Covered the loss of excess! Happy days. So worth asking.

Well Admiral got out of bed on the wrong side this morn!

Glass’ done their re-evaluation = £12500 “so we’re paying you that and if you don’t like it, speak to ombudsman”. Poor service from Emma at Admiral...she seemed happy to put me through to cancellations though (taking my business elsewhere).

So that’s it...£12500...End.

I hope you do pursue it through the Ombudsman! Quite often the insurance co just dont get it right. My son experienced a complete, stolen RS4 B8, claim rejected from Axa insurance.. we pursued it through the Ombudsman and they turned the claim around and he was fully paid out in the end..

Sounds about the norm from Admiral I'm afraid. Just spotted this thread, sorry to see the car end up like this, however as already mentioned the most important thing is that you are okay.

A-holes. Surely it needs to be agreed between you and the insurance company. As mentioned earlier in the thread what's the point in giving a value for the car at renewal time if they're going to ignore it and stitch you up anyway??

Yep. My son had parked his car in the garage at 5pm and went out clubbing with his mates at 7pm.. He only noticed the next morning that someone had broke into his garage and took his car.. His key when read by the audi key reader said it was last inserted at 4.30pm, which in the insurance companies eyes meant he couldn't have parked his car in the garage at 5pm as per my sons declaration.. After much much arguing and I finally proved that if a key is inserted and the car does not travel more that 1/10 mile and also reach a speed of 20kmh then no record will be stored in the key memory.. The ombudsman overturned the claim and Axa had to pay out fully..
