• Car crash in our civic on Tuesday (other driver accepted liability) means we now need a new car. The insurance company have said the repair is uneconomical but haven’t written it off yet.

    My question regards the cars value. It’s old and probably not worth a lot, but for us to buy the same car again it wouldn’t be cheap. There seems to be a disparity between what a car costs and what it’s worth.

  • A new door is £50-£80, plus getting it fixed. The insurer has said if we keep it, they’ll knock £500 off the max payout. It’s not the best car or even particularly clean but I think I’d prefer to run it into the ground for £600.
