Write off or not?

Post by ITDAWO »

Hi all,

I had someone run up the back of my car the other day, a daewoo lanos 99 model.

The car has a body kit and mags and through my insurance company i insured it for 8 grand Australian agreed value, the minimum i could i beleive.

now my question is it has a broken back bumper, which is a bodykit bumper which needs replacing.

the boot will not open and has a large gap on the right side where i can slot my fingers in.

The left side of the body has a fold in it.

i had to get someone to take a wheel off and hammer back the body of the car underneath the bumper because it was hitting the rear tyre, so not a panel on the car but under neath it.

When i took it to a crash repairer they didnt tell me much but they did mention something about chasis rail damage.

Would you consider this to be enough to write the car off?

Cheers
