Sad Hail Damaged Polo 6R GTi

Aw, Gambit. I'm sorry to see the damage. I know I would be devastated if that happened to my Polo. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Thanks apples fingers crossed

Well had the assessment and there was no definitive outcome all dependent on what my repair estimate is, which I need to forward to AAMI. So just a waiting game now the assessor said leaning more to repair rather than write off.

Bugger. It's times like this I bet you wished you had used your car as a target for golf practice just so you could get those extra dents. Joking of course....I would never advocate insurance fraud.

I remember when my Astra got t-boned. $7.5k damage....fell just below the 80% value of the car to make it a write off. If only the other driver hit the car just a liiiittle bit harder

Update:

Written off - repairable - but:

1) roof / side tops required conventional repairs
2) New boot / Bonnet / Roof
3) Whole car would need to be repainted
4) seats / floor to be replaced due to being soaked
5) Side airbag was soaked from the broken rear window - would have to be replaced

Soooo, I can still drive it for 48 hours (it has a salvage sticker on it) - they will call me to tow it in 48 hours.

Car shopping time.

Mixed feelings for you mate - sorry it happened but glad you got a full write off.

Keen to know what you're looking for now. Another Polo Gti or something different
