I.e why didn't insurance pay to fix repairs? Surely repairs would cost less than payout :S

Would like to discuss further about the car. If anyone knows could they please contact me ASAP. Many Thanks.
Besides it probably having a bent chasis, dont forget the availability of parts, and the time it will be off the road awaiting parts from Germany IF AVAILABLE, which pushes up the price of repairs for the insurance company.

Not many 1M's in Oz in the wrecking yard for spare parts either.
Sadly
My insurance company "repaired" one of my cars. Still has a bent chassis...
Can't pick what they will and won't write off unfortunately
