Hi just wondering what other peoples opinions are, have a VE Berlina Dual Fuel sedan had it parked in the carpark at work,some old lady went to park her car in the opposite side car park hit the accelerator instead of the brake leapt the concrete barrier on her side and came roaring up the back end of my car, my car has been pushed forward up the gutter a full cars length and hit a tree and the rear of my car is on her bonnet.
Her insurance declared my car a total loss then changed there mind and said there was only $18k damage and therefore can repair it.When i asked what they were repairing was told front and back bumpers and a couple of panels etc etc but when i asked about the transmission and gearbox was told that will be looked at after repair.
Now im no expert when it comes to car engines but i thought if a car was in park and gets hit from behind and pushed forward then you do damage to your transmission/gearbox.Now this hasnt even been factored into the repair bill, now im not happy because i have a near new family car thats just going to be repaired and who knows what will happen down the track if they say theres no damage to the engine, and can hardly sell it to anyone with this history.
Anyway just wondering what people think and if this sounds fair.
