Old timer newbie!

Hi!

I'm Graham from Sussex in the UK. I've been here a while but only just got around to verifying my email address so I'm a "newbie"

Sadly I have to part with my P38 (reason below) but really want to find an L322 to replace it.

My 1998 P38 (138K miles) was reversed in to whilst driving through a car park. It didn't cause any major damage (passed UK MOT since) but insurance company has written it off as Category N (financial write-off).

There's nothing mechanically wrong with the car although it is showing its age (droopy headlining, no Cruise Control, etc) but I expect it would pass another MOT.

The EAS has recently had all valve block o-rings replaced and a new compressor, and it's working just great!

The insurance company is giving me no option other than to write it off, but I can buy it back as a Cat-N which would cost me £400. So the question is how much is the car likely to be worth if I were to sell it?

Any guidance would be gratefully received!

Can you not take a payment in lieu of repairs?
Do believe it doesn't have a write off tag then.
Besides if its the fault of the other person then tell them you want it repaired.

Welcome .

Its a shame to lose the car if its through no fault of yours. I thought that you could tell them "fix it" .

Got pics of damage?
If they pay out is the payment enough to buy an L322 ,cos they have problems too (surprise).
