Written off & p*ssed off

[crdo16v 0]

My dearly loved valver was written off by a speeding fool in a Golf on Saturday. Went to see my "baby" today & she still looked good despite the damage, I am totally gutted. Owing to the serious damage & the fact that she is 15 years old likely it will be written off, unlikely that I will get another raddo.

Best wishes to all of you- my friends on the forum & enjoy your cars whilst you can.

Mate that's a shame... :(

 

How bad is the damage...?

Guy in the Golf T-boned it on the near side, it was about 5pm & dark, extensive damage all down nearside including damage to the sill (probable chasis is bent), n/s front wheel buckled- ie damage is bad. :cry:

Thanks Nick, I'm nearly 48 & hate to say it but think I will need to get something a bit less "sporty" as my next car.

Yeah, I keep thinking if only I'd done something different that day then I would not have been in his way, still as they say life's a bitch etc, etc.

Would it be worthwhile to buy it off the ins company and break it yourself, sell off some bits to forum members?

Thanks for your messages guys.

 

Thanks Ols- your G60 is a real beaut.

 

Neil- I may try to buy it as salvage but that depends on the insurance co. If it goes to a breakers I will try to find out which one & where & post details on the forum for anybody interested.

 

Happy Christmas :reindeer:

Thanks Karl, seems like we've both fallen foul of some crap driving by others.

I'm off now to check Parkers for book value & don't expect to be a happy bunny then :albino:

Not a happy bunny, Parkers says £1200 (private sale) & I have been told Glass's is even less, have to wait & see what the Insurers say. You can imagine what I can get for that less £250 excess. Still I won't accept it if they offer me that amount. :pukeright:

 

Top tip- get agreed value insurance if you can.
