If it is fixable, should I also not get a choice where it goes?Can be assessed in the driveway at home. Don’t let it go anywhere.

A lot of companies say you have to go to a certain bodyshop who will give an insane quote and charge for storage and courtesy car. As stated keep at your gaf and get the assessor to come to you.If it is fixable, should I also not get a choice where it goes?
I’d say fair chance it will be as Volvo parts aren’t cheapWill find out more when I head home here and try to sort that out. I’m just hoping it is wrote off, would rather get the money and sort a new car for him.
True but he has a bit saved and was wanting to change soon anyway. I’ll then hopefully get the car salvage for myself and use it to run into work. Would just repair it as cheap as possible.In the current climate, I wouldn't want to be looking for another car. It'll be a write off at that age no doubt so take the salvage and get a door and a wing. Done that a few times and it's a much easier way out financially than ending up buying another car which will inevitably be much dearer.
Yeah think most of them are white.I’d say you could find a white door and wing too as was a popular colour

Yea no chance that won’t be a write off

That’s the damage
friend had 2012 mercedes rag top rear ended, its been in wrights for ages getting fixed. i thought it was a cert to be written off. At best its a £15k car . the car he was given is costing £200 a day. the total bill so far for his car hire is more than his own car is worth and that is before the cost of fixing his merc and the 2 personal injury claims, its mad.
Turns out the woman is insured with the same company. So it’ll be interesting to see how quickly it’s all sorted.And the insurance company will be raking in money from somewhere too or whoever is being claimed off.
Again, more reasons why insurance is so expensive.
They make more £ out of the courtesy car than the repair so keep stuff ages. Know a few people left stuff with big name companies and they’d their cars 3mth for repairs that should have taken a weekfriend had 2012 mercedes rag top rear ended, its been in wrights for ages getting fixed. i thought it was a cert to be written off.
