Hi,
Yesterday while going on the M11 I had an accident. I was on the inside lane when the traffic on the outside lane (there are only 2 lanes) slowed a lot. Suddenly a car on the outside lane swerved without indicating or looking into my lane when I was about to go past it. I pressed the brakes and swerved towards the hard shoulder but could not avoid the collision. Basically I think the other car's wing mirror got wedged between both cars and caused a lot of damage... The guy admitted liability but we shall see...he said he realised too late that the traffic was slowing down to a halt and in order to avoid a collision with the car in front, he tried coming into my lane but had not seen me.
My insurance has said that it looks like it's a write off and they offer me more than £500 of what I paid when I bought it so I am tempted to accept the offer and buy it back. At the moment I am currently waiting for my insurer to call me back tomorrow.
How much do you guys reckon it will be to repair?
The damage is: scuff marks/scratches on rear arch wing, creased dent across rear door/scuff marks, slight dent + scuff marks/scratches on the driver's door and wing mirror. The car goes really well mechanically so I would be gutted to get rid of it...
