Hi, can any1 give me an approx market value for a nov, 1998 VT V6 Station Wagon? Very neat and tidy (has small crack on rear bumper, and i snapped off fuel door accidentally :doh, 170,000kms. Anything else u need to know? I t-boned someone (their fault) and now Im pretty sure the assessor is going to come write me off? Had quote for front end at $3700 (and that was without the seat belts mentioned that have released tension) but havent sent it yet. Assessor already rang but i couldnt answer so i will be ringing back on mon. I am at least hoping for $5000 value as i payed $5800 18 months ago from dealer and i have maintained it A1 myself (which isnt going to help my value considering it had full service history until then {am i allowed to fill out the book on the services I've done? lol}, which it was at 137,000kms. I am still paying my loan off, so really need another car of equal value! Also, a friend has told me as it is only really cosmetic damage and nothing structural. He thinks it will be a repairable write off, and because it's not my insurance company, he thinks I will automatically get the wreck back without having to buy it? Does anyone know anything about this at all that can give me some advice, I've got no idea. Or Will they statutory write it off as it will need new seat buckles? Lastly, with the rear bumper and fuel door, should i fiz them before assessor comes, will it push up market value, or am i throwing away money on a spent car? I really hope my mate is right, because with the time, i don't think it'll cost that much to fix myself if i source it all correctly and then i will have 2 cars of value :yahoo: If i was fixing it myself now, think i could pick everything up on gumtree for few hundred? It has damage to both front guards, both headlights, bonnet, bumper and pre-tensioned seatbelts :help: Thanks everyone, appreciate the advice
