Should i claim insurance? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have a couple of 'injuries' on my car, but i am only going to keep the car for another 2 years then I will sell it. Is it wise to wait until the last month and fix all the injuries and claim insurance all at once?

I hit the side of a pole in a car park and scratched the side of the car, also the windshield is cracked but is small I think it can hold longer. The antenna broke off and has a slight dent on the roof where it attaches to the base of the antenna.

Last problem is theres one headlight(small) blown and the tech said if I am going to replace it might as well replace everything in the car as the labour would cost the same.

So all those problems could I claim them all at once before I sell it? I am currently in my 1st year of the policy

I think the total would cost
windshield $700
body work $1100
antenna $500
lights $180

so total around $2500, and im paying $1500/yr for insurance
thanks!
