also it seems that they do not agree with you on the value of your car, that seems fair enough. are you saying flux were agreeing on a 22k value but they wouldn't?
If the car got stolen, I would still be massivley out of pocket at 22k, let alone the joke of 14k they were offering
IMHO you are looking at between 12-14k just to find a tidy standardish base car. Then consider the "big" mods only....
1) Gearbox is 4k
2)Clutch and hydrualic conversion is £1200
3)Front diff was £950
4)AP brakes- £1562
5) 6 Degree Rear beam £950
etc etc, bearing in mind my car is highly modded, and there are lots of other mods that cost a lot of £££. I don't expect the TRUE value of the car which would be close to 40k I recon
, but as a lot of people like Dave cos 4x4, Mad Rod etc understand, 14k is a bit of a joke considering the money invested in the car, in parts alone let alone time and labour costs
....
Yes Adrian flux have had exactly the same photos and details as Greenlight got sent, and they have agreed 22k which is in my opinion a sensible valuation considering wear and tear over time etc.
Dave Cos 4x4, did they not let you buy your Escort back to salvage parts off?
