    STOLEN CAR - OFFER AND WRITE OFF: my insurance company offered me €1500 for my stolen car, saying it's a write off. The replacement cost is easily 2500. I said it was too low. They've come back with offer of €2000! Still not good enough but quite a jump! Interestingly, my garage repair man says my car is not a write off and can be restored for a few hundred. It's got low mileage and good engine. Do I have to sign away the old car as well as take a poor offer?

    You could always take the offer, and buy back the wreck. You'd lose your NCB though possibly.

    If you take the offer as a writeoff you have to sign the log book over to the insurance company.
