"un-economic repair" is what the insurers call it....... It doesn't mean that it can't be safely repaired, simply that in their view it's easier to pay you up than repair it because it's so old and the bottom book price is next to nothing. After all, we ALL know that the first question that a repairer asks you is: "Is it an Insurance claim" (Which means costs X 2). It's an Insurance write off - not a damage write off.

Go for the best that you can get, plus... say that you want the car back as well......It'll cost you half to get it fixed, and you'll have a free holiday with the rest.

er........Just a mo' Lum, Did you say you were "Third Party"?

The fact that it may not be economical to the third party's insurers does not come it to it, the vehicle should be put back to the condition it was prior to the accident regardless of cost or value of vehicle.
