My GQ might be a write off?

[Ben89]

G'day all,

So a bloke rear ended my car when I was turning into my street (Sh#t luck) and I've gone through his insurance policy and i'm waiting until next week when an assessor comes out to give it a look.

I've been told by a few people different stories about what they think I will get for it, Some say a thousand just because its old...

Just wondering if anyone has dealt with an insurance company where they buggered you over?
Don't have a picture of it but under the wheel arch the whole thing from end to end is just one big crack about 5mm open
Here's a few pics

Crikey he must have hit you hard..... I got hit by a truck last month and not a scratch.. his truck was rooted!!!!

That's a Hell of a hit..
If your worried about a write off pull as many accessories as possible quick.. anything that's not noted to the insurance company, like uhf, gauges, draw systems and cargo barriers. Cos they won't pay you for them...

I was worried about that kind of stuff, What about my bullbar aswell, I don't have anything that can go on the front for the mean time thought, Thought it might be illegal without one maybe

Well before he rear ended me I did look back and braced for it, But I did see him looking down, he said he was looking at his speedo but I can't prove anything really. Just going to see how it all pans out, This happened 1 day before I got my engine tuned and a new exhaust put on aswell :/

Pretty sure you can go barless, just cable tie the number plate to the grill. If the cops have photo'd it and they ask where is it, it was your mate's you were trial fitting before you bought one..

But dam lucky no1 was hurt.. he hit very hard..

tell them you want it fixed, you can also negotiate a price with and without your parts, items that are not included in the deal can be removed, often the assessor will tell you to remove what you want to keep. it could pay you to get an independent quote for the repair so you know what it could cost, could help when negotiating.
