I bought a ratty Berlingo 2 years ago for £200. It was hit while parked a year ago and I was told by the appraisers just to drive for a while and hand it over for appraisal whenever it suited me. A year goes by and I finally pull myself together. Dropped it off last week and got a text today that they'd finished the work and I could pick it up. I was rather confused as the deal with the insurance was that it would only be appraised and they had already told me it would most likely be totalled.
But apparently the guy from the insurance company had just told them to sort it. I got a copy of the bill to the insurance company: £1560. So now I'm still stuck with a mechanically dodgy Berlingo, but with new bonnet, panels, headlight and paintjob...
