Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Ok the insurance company called today. The woman told me that their engineer thought it was not economical to fix the car so she told me that the market value of the car before the crash was €6,000 and it would cost €400 for scrappage so they are prepared to offer me €5,600 for it. I would prefer to have the car back repared but I accept that this is a reasonable offer and more than I expected. I have my eye on a '99 1.6 Passat now for €5,500. Thanks to all who let me know what they thought.

WOW - That's some PAV!!!! I reckon it's worth more than €400 for salvage - you should have the option to sell the damaged car yourself - you may make more money this way. I usually prefer to sell tha damaged cars myself. I can usually get a few hundred more than the insurance companies offer. It can be hassle and can take a while but it could be worth checking into.
