My car was stolen 26 days ago. I am due to get a valuation figure on my car today and to be honest I'm waiting to be dissappointed. I'd like to know what I can do about it if the insurance company offer a ridiculous figure to me. Is there any way of getting a figure that even remotely represents market value for my car?
The car was an Audi A4 2.0 TDI 2005
My experience to date has been nothing but hardship. After a phone call every day for the last fortnight (at least) 'the engineer' is finally supposed to provide an offer figure to me today. I submitted all the relevant forms, copy of the licensing certificate etc 15 days ago, they then lost the copy of the licensing cert and I faxed it to them again last monday week, and still it has taken until today (well I haven't heard anything back yet despite another call today) to get an offer from the engineer. I got a rental car for 5 days only, so the rest of the time has been borrowing cars getting lifts etc as I commute in to Dublin every day.
I sent on the initial receipt for the purchase of the car and a letter from an Audi Garage to confirm the market value for the car, to see if that would help. I'm not trying to make money out of this, just not be out of pocket, which I thought was the idea of being insured.
Back to the point in hand though. Is there anyway of getting a figure which represents the value of my car or at least making the insurance company stand over the figures that will offer to me? Maybe I'm judging them too early, but going by my experience to date, I'm not expecting to be impressed.
