Alan,
Sorry to hear about your precious car being damaged, but mainly glad to hear
that all humans involved are OK.
Presumably, if you were rear-ended, the accident was their fault. In which
case, why are you trying to save their insurance any money by buying
2nd-hand parts and doing the repair work yourself? Why should you be
inconvenienced by having your car out of action for the time it will take
you to repair it?
I'm not of the 'take them for all that they are worth' mentality - that's
the sort of thinking that drives up insurance costs for all of us - but it
is right that they should pay for a professional repair using new parts.
That's what they would have to do if they hit the back of a new car, and
yours shouldn't be any different.
Again, glad to hear that you are alright, physically at least, even if you
are emotionally damaged (I know I was under similar circumstances!)
