"written/wrote off?" what exactly does that mean?
Im guessing by the context, its what we refer to as "totaled." Im always interested in learning how other parts of the world refer to things from a USA perspective
If it is "totaled" or damage > value of car, then I would try to find a insurance adjuster (depending on your type of insurance, you can have one) to value the car versus current market value.
For instance, in 2002 some dick wasnt paying attention and pulled out into an intersection right in front of me and stalled... i hit his back right side. He admitted fault and went through the insurance company. My car was valued at (kbb.com) $7,200 but I just had purchased it used for $9k less than a year before. Looking online, a simlar model with options was around $8,500 PLUS taxes, fees, etc. So I threatened to hire an insurance adjuster and two days later got a check for almost $8,800
