Hello, I’m pretty angry right now, because I received a letter from Allianz insurance today and I don’t feel the impairment after a car accident is appropriate. In detail: In October 2008 I bought a Skoda Octavia 2 Team Edition as an exhibition vehicle (year 8/2007) with 50km on the clock for 16,000€. An extremely good price – usually such a vehicle costs at other dealers in this equipment 1000€ – 3000€ more. Last week it happened then: Another driver missed me when changing lanes and damaged my right fender and parts of the door. The guilt question is clear and the accident opponent admitted his error. Today I received the invoice copy of the Skoda contract workshop. Damage: 250€ In the expert’s report, which has examined my vehicle on behalf of the Allianz insurance (insurance of the accident opponent), a damage of 2000€ is stated. Where the remaining In any case, he (without the calculation) has determined a value loss of just 450€. That should be a joke?!? My vehicle is now an accident car at mileage 2070km (!) and I paid 16.000€ for it just 4 months ago. I expected a minimum of 10% reduction in value. If I want to sell the car I get significantly less (estimated 2000€ less) than for a non-accident car. I think that I have to ask for 500€. I’ve had a similar accident 8 years ago with my old vehicle. So I’ve got 600€ for a 3 year old Seat Arosa with 60,000km. Now I’m not supposed to get 450€ for a more than twice as expensive vehicle with 2000km on the clock? You would really be very helpful if you could call me a lawyer… Do you happen to know something about this area and can tell me if the 450€ is appropriate for such damage? ewtas would write. P.S. My car was tip-top, quasi like new, no damage etc. Greetings Tobias
