    Hi

    I was involved in a RTA last week the other party admitted full liability and their insurance company took my car off to be assessed.

    The garage have come back to be to say that my car can't be repaired that it is going to be written off.
    An engineer came back to me yesterday to say that the pre-crashed value of my car is €2000, when I asked is that all he said that is the highest amount he will be putting on the assessment to send back to the insurance company. He asked me to arrange to get my belongings from the car and drop my Certificate of Registration to the insurance company and give them my bank details the transfer will be made asap, then I am sure they will pick up the hire car the second the money has hit account.

    €2000 is not going to put be back in the position I was in before the accident. I will not get the same car for €2000. It was a 02 Peugeot 206. They are going for between €2500-3500 at the moment. Can I haggle with the insurance company over this? Or will they stick with what the engineer has said.

    Also what happens to my car now? Have I not got a right to buy it back from the insurance company?

    Appreciate any advice.
