I'm stunned frankly.....the damage is clearly minimal but with new bits, any delay getting parts puts car hire up significantly, so I wouldn't count your chickens just yet.....the assessor sounds like a bit of a plonker TBH.

Since you have a no-fault claim either way, why not persuade him to write it off, get the payout, buy the truck back cheap and fix it with s/h parts and keep the change?

I agree. I am surprised that they are doing a repair + hire car. I would have thoguth the cost of the bumper alone, would be well into the hundreds. I also agree it might be worth asking the to write it off...maybe...
