Daughter bought her first car in Feb for £3800
Since then shes scuffed a panel, dented a sill and (pretty sure it was a scammer but cant prove it) bumped someone at a junction leaving superficial damage to her front bumper
A couple of weeks ago shes sat at a roundabout and gets twatted from behind
A car ran into the car behind her and smashed it into her
Admiral her insurer have been really good in providing a courtesy car but we now come onto the claim for her car
It was towed away and then the other insurance company has told her it's a write off and offered £2400! (Remember she paid £3800 8 months ago)
They have deducted the cost of repairs for the other damage (listed at £600) which still only values the car at £3k and they are refusing to move on the offer
The only car on autotrader within 50 miles with similar miles, age and spec is £3400
Advice please on how we proceed. Is it a case of solicitor involvement?
Surely they cant deduct value for a scuff on a panel!
