| Message: | Hi, We bought a new 2010 car on Saturday, on Sunday someone ran a red light and crashed into the front. The person had no insurance. The auto repair shop has quoted 9000 dollars in repairs. For a car to be a write off I understand that the damage has to be more than 60% of the book value. As our car is so new the book value hasn't even been released yet. The car won't be ready for another month as the parts aren't readily available so they will also need to give us a rental car for this period. What are my chances of discussing the possibility of a new car? I'm heartbroken that all this has happened to my two day old car :o( Any advice would be greatly appreciated Helen | ||||
