    Trophy insurance valuation

    Well I've had an update on this today. The Financial Ombudsman agreed the valuation of £2770 was far too low and had instructed Glass’s to do an updated valuation. This now stands at £5100. This is obviously great news for myself, but should also help anyone else who find themselves in the...

    Sikora's Trophy #456

    Kind of glad you didn't drive down in it today John. Just seeing it in photographs makes me miss it

    Trophy insurance valuation

    Well the letter to the FOS has gone off. I'll keep this updated. Hopefully no one has to go through this, but it may help someone in the future.

    Trophy insurance valuation

    You're right. I looked into it when I first bought the car 3 years ago, but have stuck with mainstream insurers. I guess it's not until you have to claim that you find out how much hassle and stress it causes. Hindsight is a wonderful thing eh

    Trophy insurance valuation

    I've bought the car back. It's never even been out of my possession. It's purely cosmetic damage and I'm still driving it. I sent them 6 adverts when i refused the valuation. The letter above is their response. They recommend i take it up with the Financial Ombudsman.

    Trophy insurance valuation

    No, I want my insurers to pay out what the car is worth. I don't have an agreed value, just a standard policy with Hastings. I'm sure you'll agree £2770 is way below what these sell for. The car is on 106k.

    Trophy insurance valuation

    I think I'm going to have to provide evidence now Rik. This letter is my insures final word on the matter. Not sure how much research the FOS will do themselves. The fault really lies with Parkers, Glass's for not being accurate. We're talking less than 50% of the value in my eyes.

    Trophy insurance valuation

    As some of you may know, my Trophy was involved in an accident before Christmas, resulting in it being classed as a Cat C. My problem now lies with the valuation the insurers deem the car to be worth. Which they value at £2770. They're not willing to increase this, so it will have to be referred...

    Sikora's Trophy #456

    B pillar is fine. It's just what you can see in the photos. I've been offered £2770, minus £810 if I want to keep the car. Obviously I've rejected this offer

    Sikora's Trophy #456

    Think I'm going to look at getting this repaired. The stress this has caused me the past week has been unbearable and it's not even my fault :disappointed:
