depends how much you got it for? i did see it up for sale, for quite a while, thought it was a bit pricey personally so hope you got it cheaper, otherwise it could easily end up costing what you could of bought a non written off one for, and it could be many of things, try throttle re-set? best of luck!

Was that the extent of the damage?A cat-C seems excessive unless there was mechanical damage involved as well. Good repair as they are difficult curves to recover..

Insurers seem to right anything off these days..??

Right, as they make everything correct? or.......write as in write off?

 

[hodroyd]

I stand corrected, it's been a long day, right, write off is the way to go, thanks buddy..!!

Welcome along Lee & good luck.

Mine was also a Cat C three years ago with light damage to the osr corner

It was fully driveable, just needing the corner straightened plus a bumper, bootlid, tail light and exhaust box. The battery / fuse area was fully intact as was the spare wheel well.

I guess they also factor in the cost of a courtesy vehicle and any other associated costs so along with OEM parts, it soon mounts up but I have no regrets buying mine
