It would appear that my sons super corsa is going to get written off as a result of some idiot pulling out and damaging 3 panels along 1 side.
The damage is minor but the cost is like �1000 im guessing making it a cat c or d. He wants to keep the car, how does it normally work with insurances. we are TPF & T and the legal cover is chasing the other side for the repair costs. do we get the money and have an option to buy the car back cheaply?

usually they will offer you a figure for the car and let you keep it regardless,its cheaper for them to just let you have it

Your insurance will give you a figure for the car. Always reject this amount and say that the amount is too low. When they come back with a revised offer say you want to keep the car and buy it off them. They will settle and deduct the payment for the car.

But beware a CAT A/B/C/D car will be higher in insurance and will make it very difficult to sell.
