My car has been written off by insurance company.......?

..........I would like to know if i can have the car back or does it now belong to the insurance as they have made a payout?

It now belongs to the insurance company. You can always contact them and ask to buy the salvage rights.

If they "totaled" it, they own it. You should know this because you would have been required to sign the title over to them. Did You ? They don't want your car so they may sell the car back to you. Ask them.

You can offer to buy it back for a nominal sum but you would be interupting the 'perks' network further down the line.
Any repair you make would not take it off the national write off database.

There are specialist dealers who sell damaged/repairables and there are some bargains to be had but its like everything else you have to be lucky or know what youre doing.

The insurance company paid you for the car. They now own the car. If you want it back, they may sell it to you. If you buy it back, you will have a "Salvage" title issued to you on the car. This type of title greatly reduces the value of the car and may make it nearly impossible to resell it.

when the insurance company paid you for your accident, they bought your car. You can by it back for salvage at about the same price a salvage yard will pay them for it.r


Timbo is here
It belongs to them now - they might be open to offers so best to contact them and it is up to them what they do with it or how much they charge you to have it

If you are not having the car back, then let the DVLA know:
