my sportage had far less damage than that, a medium size dent on the rear top corner, the insurance wrote it off as the quote from their panelbneater was over 4500.
a beater i got quoted $2600.
if the chassis is bent you will have to write it off, I think it is not legal to repair chassis by a private person, insurance companies will always write off when chassis damage.
Being smashed...Help!
you need to report this to the police in NSW ring 131444 and they will advise if you need to go to a police station or give you a incident number for insurance claim. you need to get insurance even if its only third party but full if better. you can pay insurance off on a weekly monthly term we are on a pension and pay monthly. the young son had a accident last November on a round-a-bout was wet rear stepped out hit a new hilux in the front guard and door $10000.00 was the quote for damages thank god he was insured $600 excess he had to pay
