After insurance has written off the car....

Seanieke

As ye know the car was hit a week ago & the guys in FBD have decided it's a write-off. We've aggred on a sum for the value of the car (Based on market value not the actual car I presume) & they're going to take it away.

Here's the bit, is there anything stopping me from taking a few bits out/off the car before they take it away?? eg interior, engine....

Yep. Your insurance company now owns the salvage, which they will sell onto a breakers to do what you want to do.

I'd imagine you could be done for theft if the insurance company really felt like it.

Ohhhhh I see, I'll put away my socket set so! thanks for the quick reply.

You could buy the wreck back if you wish

You might get away with lifting the radio and small bits like that, but not much else I'd reckon.

You could buy it back, but what would you do after you take all the saleable bits out ot if?

usually they offer it for you to buy back then ya can put it up for sale for parts etc

thats the thing, I'm glad they're taking it away, saves the hassle. But I was day dreaming on the way home the seats would be cool for playstation & bench with back. Just stuff like that. But I'll let it slide.
