Assuming you have the opportunity, insist that the vehicle is inspected, and NEVER permit anybody to take the vehicle anywhere, all ownership paperwork should be made available, but not to be handed over to insurance agent. If the vehicle is written off, be careful under what category as this may render it non insureable.
Some companies will insist that the recoverable loss in the event of a future claim with this vehicle will only equate to your buy-back value.
Only effect repairs after the assessor has seen the vehicle and have plenty of photos available just in case the case turns nasty.
