umesh 336 Posted January 3, 2014 Insurance company selling used cars? Not sure if anyone else spotted the advert last night Direct line insurance shows a car being damaged by a truck ...goes on to say IF your car is a write off ,we can either pay you to go and buy, or we’ll get a car for you and even to the point you can upgrade and we’ll find you a better car? Does this mean they are actively trying to replace/upgrade the customer’s car themselves? Do we have another ‘used car’ retailer or are they simply ‘trying to help’ the customer?

Ray Fenwick 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Hi Umesh It would be interesting to find out where they are sourcing the vehicles from. From an insurance point of view, generally once the claim had been finalised the insurer would simply pay their customer the agreed amount and then leave them to it.
