Bummer ey, i rekcon get some quotes on ur car (at least 3) for different places on the damage and the current market valve of the car. Get statements (if police came) get there incident number and the police statement. U have all the guys information, contact him by phone try and work sumthing out. Don't say u only brought the car for $3K don't do that ! If ur car is worth that its worth that, money is better in ur pocket then someone elses. Ey if u don't want the extra 4K u can always sent it my way, much appreciated. I think u should consult some form of legal aide for advice about the situation a hand, maybe even get him to write u up a letter of demand so u can send to the person. I think its sumthing like u need 3 quotes and include copies of em in a letter of demand. If he doesn't come up with the money i think it off to court u go. Hi ho hi ho its off to court u go. And im damn tired Firstly Don't phone him at all. Get a quote and a letter from a certified valuer stating the value of the car prior to prang ( NRMA can help with finding one) and the fact that the car is written off. Send the guy the 1st letter of demand asap ( panelbeater can provide you with that) with copy of quote and letter. Include all reasonable expenses you've incurred. Keep copies of the letters of demand and any correspondence from the other guy. Hit him with them on the due date. Don't entertain any offers etc he may make by phone....ask for them in writing Sell your car for salvage asap Do your homework now and subtly find out where he works ( To make it easy if you have to garnishee his wages later) And again don't phone him, but take notes of any phone calls you receive from him. Don't bother seeing a solicitor, see the chamber magistrate at a court for assistance with anything. You can do all this yourself easily. And ignore posts that use the word 'sue' Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks guys.. And thank you 351!!
