a colleague has had (looks like it will be, due to chassis damage)his porsche 996 turbo written off in a non fault accident (he was stationary)
now he has been reading about Insurance companies offering low ball prices, and/or trade price for the car.
i understand that the Insurance should pay out the "market" value, enabling him to replace the car, now here lies his worries, his car was a showroom example, it had every extra from porsche known to man, and was an eye full, will he just get whatever the glasses/cap type guides show for trade price? as he could not replace the car for that?
he does have photos etc,
can he get a valuation that would show the car was far and beyond the norm that would be acceptable to the insurers.
any advise welcome.
ps: his hire car is a mazda crossover people carrier type thing (CX)...lol.
the body shop has said there estimate for repair is £13,600
and apparently the truck that hit it, has £400 damage to the front wheel.
