So I had a crash. My car has been assessed as a repairable write off and I have to decide if I push the insurer to repair or I take the payout. I owe no money but would be out of pocket to purchase new(ish). I was not intending to trade it in or sell in the foreseeable future.
I understand the process if I opt for a write off. If I push for repair I know it needs review and scutiny.
I am thinking of pushing for repair. Anyone else gone down that path? Any gotchas or experiences to share? I really am in two minds right now.
Would 100% fix myself if it were older/more common. No structural damage but cosmetic and mechanical components - imported and expensive tho. Don’t have the tools or space to even start to DIY
(My old Holden was a fuel guzzler but made things like this waaay easier!!)
