What to do with my damaged car?
Hi, I've a toyota corolla hatchback petrol with 115,000 on the clock. It needs body work due to a car accident (900 euro worth). It's a great car and I'm torn on whether to trade up and what car would be as good in terms of reliability. What value should I get in a trade up. I have a budget of 5-6k? My nct and tax is due so should I just do the repairs or trade up?
Our answer:
Hi Lesley,
I would need to know the year of the car before I could give you a value on it but any serious accident damage needs to be repaired, and properly, before you'll get any decent value out of it. Without an NCT and with damage you'll get offered very, very little for it.
