   Hey guys, well to cut a long story short, I had a pretty bad car crash in my Saxo yesterday got real bad whiplash and now in a neck brace..eughh such uncomfortable thingsss... The car has been towed away by the recovery company and I've now been provided with a courtesy car.
   Whilst my car is at the depot, the damages are being assessed.
   My own opinion, is that my car will become a write off because of how bad the damages are Hmm saddd
   Does anyone have a rough idea of how much they would estimate my car is worth? Details are below..if you need any more info let me kno.
   
   Make & Model : Citreon Saxo Open Scandal
   Colour: Red
   Engine Size: 1.0
   Mileage: 45,000
   Prev Owners: 3
   No Modifications
   Year: 1999 (S Reg)
   
   Thanks guys xxx

   Not many previous owners and very low milage for the year of the car. Looking at least £800 anyway

   I've been in a crash before but nothing as bad as this..when someone has hit you from behind at about 60-70mph and you go flying up an embankment, thats when you start to think FUCKK. So lucky!
   Eughh I hate it coz it's really knocked my confidence now and I'm real nervous when it comes to driving, it sucks xx

   Sounds bad you'll slowly begin to build up your confidence in driving again but some people will just refuse to drive again after a bad crash so fair play to you and good luck

   go on autotrader, find a few in your area with similar specs and miles etc, then take the 4 most expensive ones and print them off, im sure you'll find plenty being advertised for well over a grand with that mileage.
   send them to the engineers as evidence of how much its going to cost you to replace your car and the valuation will be increased
