I received a call yesterday saying that the vehicle is definitely a total loss which I’m gutted about as I questioned them fixing it. im eligible to get another vehicle and this has to be ordered with 4 weeks. I doubt this will happen as my grandma passed away on Saturday and I’m not in the right frame of mind to be testing vehicles. motability have just said inform them nearer the time if I still haven’t ordered. I suppose I should at least look now but there seems no point as it holiday season and then Q1, I doubt things will change much then but if this month is anything to go by then it just adds to the rubbish I’m going through. keep suggestions coming, it’s much appreciated. Happy holidays
Sorry for your loss Azzy.
I had a car written off a few years back Azzy through no fault of my own. What I would say is take your time in choosing a new car car on the scheme. I was given a brand new Merc to run around in while waiting for the loss adjuster to write my car off. Motability will hassle you a fair bit to order another car ASAP… but ignore them and take your time. Several days after the accident and on the phone to them, the guy suggested I order another car as soon as possible & that I “might have to settle for something that doesn’t tick all the boxes”. Sod that. If I am going to be spending the next 3 years in a car while paying the best part of nine + grand in benefits to do so, I am going to make sure it’s a car I really like, has the options I need, and it’s a car that would suit me down to the ground… despite Motability pressuring me to choose the first car that came along.
Take your time Azzy and don’t be pressured.
