I know, it did drive fine back from the accident, but who knows. I'm kinda resigned to the fact I'll have to replace it, and it narks that the accident happened just a few hundred meters from my house and the young lad (recently passed his test) wasn't paying attention. All he went on about was how his insurance was going to go up. I guess he's learnt a very valuable lesson at my expense. Just very upset that I'll never get one at this spec again.

Sadly I started with them when they were still reputable!

Thank you, and yeah, after the soggy winter we've been having, I suspect it may be a swimming pool in the boot now. If I do have to buy a replacement, I'll be going for another Superb. Just really annoyed that I'd only had it 18 months and will have to go into debt once more to bridge the gap between the payout and the cost of another car (was 4k last time). It's also not the time of year to be looking at used cars as everyone drives them through the winter before getting a new one! I have to say though, the way Esure (I was through Sheilas Wheels) treat you is terrible, and it's been two months of battling to try and get them to reply with twice weekly calls.

Hi everyone, I've been a bit of a long time lurker ever since I acquired a Superb Greenline II in Elegance spec after my Mondeo was written off. It also came with almost £10k of factory extras (kessi, park assist etc.) and is possibly the best car I have ever owned. I absolutely adore it. Just before Christmas I was rear ended at low speed whilst stationary and, after almost 2 months of arguing with my insurance company they finally sent me an email today in response to my many, many requests for an inspection report that reads: I'll include a couple of pics of the damage below. It drove fine back to my house and steering and braking were all as you'd expect. The only bone of contention is the boot, which looks as if the boot floor (spare wheel cover) has been pushed forwards and I didn't get time to take a better look before they took it away. The only thing I can think it would be written off for is a buckled rear floorpan, but I can't get them to look at that. What I need to know is if it would be fixable looking at the damage shown (only the rear is damaged). As I said, this is a car I am very reluctant to let go as I'll never get another one at this spec. And the insurance payout (even though I refused their offer) was £4k, which I felt was below the value of the car. I paid £6k 18 months back and I would have been happy with a £5k payout for it.
