    I hurt my Polo. Whats next.



    I hurt my car this evening and now I'm dreading whats going to happen if they decide that its written off. I can't wait that long again. Worst still it was another VW I hit.

    I have to wait for insurance to assess it now. I am most unhappy with myself.

    I hope you didn't hurt yourself! Did any of the airbags deploy? If they did it may be a write-off but by the looks of the damage it doesn't look all that bad so I don't think they would have. Even if they did, I would not see why it SHOULDN'T be repaired because of the car's good condition (at least on the outside). But hey that's just me. Good luck with the ordeal.

    Well the engine didn't sound happy with me. But fingers crossed its repairable and not noticeable after repair. Wish it had happened when I had my old 93 Subaru Impreza wagon instead of my first brand new car!

    I've just never had a prang before and I have no idea how it all works out.

    That will not be written off. The damage you have is far less than the damage I incurred after hitting a kangaroo and my car was not written off. Of course questions will be raised over whether the engine has damage but looking at the images, overall it doesn't appear to be too bad.

    Good luck.

    RACQ is my insurer. Unfortunately it was my fault. The other driver did indicate very late by his own admission but I still ran up the back of him.
