my pops reversed into my s2 today with his 5 series, fooked mine, hardly a mark on his!

damage...

bonnet fooked
wing damaged
bumper fooked
slam panel bent a bit (new one needed i reckon)
1 headlight + an indicator.

my door is damaged from a previous incident (not that that matters in this one)...

i have no pics today, so none of the pics or STFU till tomorrow!!!

will his insurance call it a day?

<---real tears!

 

Gutter. It could be a write off by the sound of it.

 

BTW if it is a write off find out how much your insurance company will charge to sell it back to you.

 

if it is, im gonna be getting me a tidy s13...

how much will it cost to buy back? and how much will they give me?

 

Usually 10% of payout price to buy back

 

Simon Day

beat me to it... i was planning on buying it back and selling the parts of it...

 

cos jon

ok

 

they will write it off

BUT you can get a bonnet for 50 quid, 88 soec bumper for less tbh, ive bined 3 of em , slam pannel and wing will cost 300ish fitted i recon

why not just repair it or ya looking for a new car

 

defo a rite off as i only picked up an s2 the other week it had a damage rear bumper and rear qtr and they rite it off

 

Get ur dad to go halfs with ya, where u at>?

 

Get your insurance money, buy it back and fix it ??, fair enough it will be recorded, but you'll not lose too much when you sell it on if you take some photos of damage ??

 

Get your dad to pay for the repair ,simple ,as he reversed into it

 

i would get me dad to pay for the damage, wouldent get him to put it through the insurance far too much hassle, just get it booked in @ a good bodyshop.

 

i heard a rumor that the cars clean too and was a good price , fair play to ya


you got too much luck

 

They wil almost certainly write it off. They will try and give you the Glass's guide price of about Ł1100. Tell them to get screwed and argu the toss should see the offer come up to a more sensible level. Some goon punted my bro's FRST up the bum and they wrote it off and sent a cheque for Ł1200. After a few phone calls they agreed to stump up Ł2k to repair it. Was a really nice job and the car drives straight as a die

 

thats what im worried about, them giving me fook all...

is it 10% of the cars value to buy back?

ill post some pics tomorrow...

 

he said about insurance, as hes only paying 300 with no no-claims anyway...

mky ins is high and only tpft

 

Don't know about the 10% bit mate.

With regards to value find similar cars for sale and get the cuttings and send them to the insurer to proove the cars value. When our 2i was written off the cheeky buggers offered us Ł700 for it after a row and some stroppy letter threatening to call the insurance obudsman they kindly sent a cheque for Ł2500.

Don't take any of their shit and accept nothing verbally.

 

how long wil i be looking at to sort it with them if theyre arsey?

 

Took me about 4-5 months iirc

 

just gonna get a light sorted for outside, then ill post some pics in an hour...

 

Pics or STFU!


If you have no pics, then dont post till you have!

 

some insurance companies dont let you buy back, churchills werent gonna let me buy my corsa gsi back when i wrote it off the day i bought it so i withdrew my claim and never bothered fixing it lol

Sarah

 

 

silly cunt

 

dave nice sig

 

heres the pics, sorry bout the quality but its dark...

 

itll need a new front panel, new wing, new bonnet, new bumper... can paint them myself but its the welding im not sure about...

 

EASY repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seen worse,ALOT worse that have been fixed...

Well whats your excess??Price up a new wing,and just repair the frt panel???

At the end of the day,your not paying for it..

Pete...

 

its a right off!

pmsl

why if everyones first reaction always..."its a write off!"

 

bonnets crumpled, wing aswell, bumper fooked, new light + indicator, front panel... all adds up...

i was thinking of getting it done w/o insurance job

 

look at the 1st post... IS IT, no IT IS...

it was a fucking question!!!

 

Give ya Ł200 for it then?!?!?!?!

Pete....

 

theres always a worry though that it would be a right off

dont they go by some book price basically of a whatever reg Escort and thats it?

 

thank you...

at the end of the day, if it costs more than say 800 its a write off... 60% of value IIRC... an rst in an insurers eyes is worth fook all...

pete...

 

i was worried when this happened to mine

pulled the chain over top which fucked the wing, indicator and bumper were fooked. still aint got it sorted..fooking thing

 

what exactly happened there?

 

some silly fuckers van had a faulty handbrake so all he done was put it into 1st gear and walked away. it popped out and rolled down the road just hitting mine i was parked up. he nearly drove off to the wanker but the fella next door blocked him in and they started arguing so they sent down 8 police officers in 2 vans but they were all sound and saw what had happened which was good for me.

 

bloody hell, i wouldnt dream of considering a car written off for that

i mean, is this rs turbo just a car to u , or is like 'your rs turbo' that u dearly love much like mine is to me and quite a few peoples on here. if is was my pride and joy i would think easy fix, will just take some time and would make me go cold at the thought of it bein written off.

make ya dad pay for it, or have a major family fall out and never speak to em again and smash his beemer up lol

 

nor would any of us on here, probably, but an insurance company would!
