Hello, I had an accident the day before yesterday, accident opponent drove me backwards into the front bumper, My car was standing (engine off). So the question of guilt would have been clarified. Unfortunately I already had some discussions with the insurance of the accident opponent (Allianz). My car is 16 years (Audi 80), front the GRP bumper is broken a cross-carrier pulled in the grill and the bonnet is a little cross-carrying and no longer closes. Now after accident I have at A llianz called, there a lady told me that I should just go to Audi, have an estimate made, and then I should hand it over to Allianz. Now I was with Audi, who said it was a total damage, looked at it very briefly from the outside and meant so easily around the 1200€. Then he called and asked the dealer for the purchase price of the car, 500-800€… Then I called the insurance company and told them that it might be a total damage, what I should do now(wa r probably a mistake)… That’s what the guy explained to me that I should wait for mail and then in case of a total damage an evaluator comes to use anyway. Now my question: “This is not just an Audi 80 that you could buy for 800€, there are various beautifications and technical improvements built in.” I just wanted to know if I could somehow get the money for the repair costs and not the residual value of the car?!? And how is the last endli I’m grateful for every tip!! Vll. can you come up with the argument that they should let me make an estimate and that they should simply pay because it comes cheaper than an expert + the residual value of the car? Would that be possible? After all, they save 16% again because they wouldn’t pay out the VAT. What should I do?! Greeting C.
