My parents were rear ended in their Fiesta on the M62.
Long and short the damage has been valued at £4,000, and then there will be courtesy car cost for at least 2 weeks while it is repaired. So far the 3rd party want to repair it.
The concern is that the car is worth £7-8,0000 (in good condition). However when they come to sell it which they will do immediately after having the damage repaired, the local Ford dealer has already said it wont be worth as much as normal book as people are aware its had £4,000 of damage!
To add to this they have gap insurance, and the gap insurance have already confirmed they will pay out if it is a write off.
Direct Line (my parents insurers are being no help at all).
Is there anything they can do?
