    Hi, I had an accident, someone bumped into the back of my car while I was waiting at the traffic light. The repair costs aparently are the same value as I paid for the car some years ago (used, excellent condition, low mileage etc). Their insurance is aiming to valuate my car the lower as possible, to give me less than the cost of the repairs and less than the car's value. So I'm looking at an official valuator in Ireland who could help with a thorough assessment that I can use to prove the car had been in excellent condition before the accident. Can anyone share any guidance?

    You will only receive the book value of the car. A new bumper starts at 400 depending on car, plus paint, and the total cost will be over a 1000. Take the insurance money and buy the car back, and do whatever repair you see fit. If the car is a bmw/merc/etc, the cost increases significantly.

    How would an assessor prove the car was in excellent, pre-accident condition?
