How do I encourage insurance to write off?

Worrying if you could see so much wrong with it when you picked it up - how much couldn't you see? I really feel for you on this, a terrible situation. So many Ford dealerships are as useless as yours unfortunately. I have a long list of issues with ours.

The solicitors are dealing with the diminution claim but they say they can't progress it until the vehicle repairs have been finished.
They also said I have to inform them of my intent to sell the car as a result of the accident for them to be able to pay out.

The diminution is likely to be based off the value of the vehicle at the time of the accident not the new price so it will be less the depreciation of taking it off the forecourt.

That probably means sale + diminution is going to be several thousand less than I paid for it.

The book value of the car at 2 months old and 400 miles on the clock was 13,500 according to the insurance engineer. Five grand sounds very steep to me but I have nothing else to compare it to. The ford dealer refused to give me a valuation for the vehicle. That's going to be something else I complain to Ford about - if they have put it back to spec there shouldn't be any question about the price... just look it up in the book.

You'll have lost the VAT paid immediately so that'd account for 20% immediately.
