They also covered the cost of respraying the rear spoiler which had badly faded paint and had not been damaged in the accident.
Miracles do happen.
The car was bought back from us by Mitsubishi in 2020 due to the air bag recall.
Was the repair over the value of the car? And if so, did you have to pay the difference?
