Hi, looking for some advice: a month ago whilst my partner was driving our little Mits= ubishi Pajero Lynx Jr (P reg, purchased for =C2=A32,500 2.5 yrs ago) a tractor slamme= d into the driver's side and our car is written off and the insurance engineer has deem= ed it unsafe to ever be put back on the road. They offered =C2=A31400. There was damage= to the front bumper which happened a year ago and hadn't been fixed. It was the perfect= car as it was so economical on fuel, road tax and insurance. Plus it was a great little w= orkhorse and we used it to transport hay and horsefeed. Ok it LOOKED like a workhorse a= nd I realise that it wasn't worth what we bought it for BUT..to get another we need =C2=A3=
2500 minimum and had the tractor driver not be negligent we'd still have the car and no= t be in the position we're in now of looking at totally unsuitable and impractical car= s as we don't have the extra cash needed.Sorry to be so longwinded (!) but is there anyone here who can advise on whether they be= lieve =C2=A31400 to be a fair offer? My feeling is that we shouldn't be inconvenience= d at all as the other driver admitted liability. This is the first time I've had a car wr= itten-off and hadn't expected it to be such a trying experience! Cheers in advance for any replies.
