Fortunately this has not happened to me but was wondering if people knew where you stood in relation to selling parts from a car before the insurance claim has been settled. I would assume if it is repairable then you will be getting the car back and can do what you like but if it is a write off then you would be selling their property, and where would you stand if you bought the parts?

Just a thought...

If its wrote off you can probably buy it back anyway mate

I know you can buy it back depending on the category it is written off as but until then the car belongs to the insurers so surely you would be selling THEIR property?

were you insured FC or TPFT? makes a difference

 

if you were insured TPFT you can do whatever you want with the car, if FC you'd need to buy it back unless you sell something they wouldn't notice was missing

Get what you can while you ;can we pay enough in the first place and the settlement figure wont represent the true value
