I hope someone can offer advice regarding this.
My wife had her car parked outside a house, the woman across the road reversed out and somehow went straight into my wifes car, she rang the bell and said she hit the car so there were no issues with her accepting liability.
The insurance has now said the car is a write off. It was a 2001 Clio which my wife had from new, the car ran fine with no issues, apart from a slight dent on the back side panel.
The insurance has offered £1063 as compensation.
Where do I go from here, the issue is this car although old ran fine with no issues at all. buying a car of that sort of age can come with all sorts of problems, and having a look on autotrader they seem to sell for around the £1500 mark.
Can anyone offer any advice how to proceed, never had to make a claim before, I've been told to ask for more, but how much more could I get, I know insurance companies dont like paying out and will probably try to screw me on what they pay out so what should I be expecting.
Thanks for any advice.
