OK , THIS HAS BROKEN WHAT PART OF A HEART I HAD . BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT DEFEAT AND SAY I THINK IT MIGHT GET WRITTEN OF ,,

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

ALSO IF THEY DONT WRITE IT OF AND DECIDE TO REPAIR IT WILL IT GO ON A CAT D OR SOMTHING ??

I HAVE AN AGREED VALUATION ON THE CAR SO NO PROBS THERE I HOPE..

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ???
THE DAY IT HAPPENED


TODAY AFTER STRIPPING THE BUMPER OFF

jacko

i could repair hat mate

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

had this happen to one of my old saphs and i refused repair and just got 3k and kept my car. my rear quarter wernt pulled in like your are though.

louie1

looks like a nice car mate but i would say its a write off.
If you want to repair it yourself after buying it back i have a pair of nearly new quarters.

Dirty Harry

iTrader: (12)

that will be written off mate,I bet diamonds if you take the caropet out and look at the gearbox tunnel its creased,they usually break there backs when hit like your have

RSCossieGaz

iTrader: (6)

mine was written off and damage was far less then that,seeing that the quarters damaged too im afriad that will be a write off i reckon

Before you even consider repair, I would look @ the drivers rear chassis leg just in front of the wheel as it looks like it has crumpled there. If it has, it would be a lot of work for a professional bodyshop on a vehicle of that age, let alone anyone else.

If that is good, then a few new panels and a good quality repaint I think you'd be okay.

Both The Outriggers Are Bent And The Boot Floor Is Bent , Its The Only Panel I Cant Seem To Source ,, Have Not Had It On The Ramps To Check Prop Tunnel Yet .. Would You Repair It Or Just Take The Payout And Buy It Back , ??

jacko

the best way is to get it wrote off buy it back and brake it mate

So As It Was Not My Fault (obviously ) I Was Turning Right At A Junction And Some Gay Chav In A Boyed Up Clio With Lexus Lights (i May Add) Hit Me ,,,

Mate is this that mint L reg one wont say the full reg just in case even if it isnt sorry to see this , it will be a t/loss but very repairable

Gazzonator

Real shame. Looked like a really nice one.

Part Of Me Wants It Repaired But Thanks To You Guys For Not Disclosing The Plate ,, But I Have That Retention In Hand Just In Case ,,,

Because If I Get The Payout From Insurance At Agreed Value I Will Be Breaking Her And Buying An Ecos For My Troubles With That Plate On I Think ??

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

Spooky.

Tony Rs

iTrader: (9)

Mate really gutted for you this car was proper mint too think if i remember correct it was 52k was it not it has on the clock

007RS

Buy mine and just swap the engine over !

HoylaRS

mate just had a similer thing with my s2! ask your insurers for cash in lieu! they will agree a fee for the value of the car and pay you out to repair it yourself! it dont go through the insurers system and so wont go on as a cat d if someone hpi's it

runty176

had a similar looking shunt in mine , but i was at donnington a couple of years ago & spun it .
i jigged mine & repaired it , then sold it for an escos .
i think if i was you i would get as much from the insurance as possible , buy the car back , break it to fund an escos like you said yourself .
bad luck though chap looks a real tasty saph . at least i only had my self to blame .

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

rapidcossie

Rab

National Day 2005? maybe? Did you not put all the bits into the Noddy Escort?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

I remember that Steve....

dojj

iTrader: (3)

it'll get wrote off
then you will have to figure out what you are going to do with it

depending on the compnay they will either play ball with you or fuck you about and give you the run around

just make sure the car is on your driveway and no one takes it, because then the shit will reall start to get deep

robertthorpe

hahaha you look far too proud mate!!!!! sad to see another one go!

Cars Not Kept At My House ,,

It Still Drives And All The Lights Still Work , Even If Its Just The Bulbs Working So Just A Short Trip From My Garage To Get It Nice And Clean For Assessor ,
If I Get Paid Out Well Enough It Will Make A Good Donor Car For An Ecos With Shot Engine

Paul_RS

iTrader: (4)

If thats the L reg one i'm thinking about, its a real shame

Are you deffo not going to repair it?

dojj

iTrader: (3)

just don't hand the keys over until you've either got the cheque banked or a letter stating that the car will be repaired regardless of teh cost

anything else they will screw you

skrats

iTrader: (1)

ok m8 ... so if i decide to break it what sort of cash am i looking at ???
has 52000 mile engine , nice leather trim , etc ..
hate to break it but it will be worth more in bits i am sure !!!

Tony Rs

iTrader: (9)

I would love your leather mate

skrats

iTrader: (1)

i thought about a re shell . but i really want an ecos so i am waiting to see what the insurance do ,, if they offer to repair it then that will be good but i want genuine panels and a full respray out of it ,, plus my friend has just bought a white ecos so that is not helping

mk3stevie

Shame, it looked like a nice one

PSL

Gutted for you mate. I was within a whisker of buying this car 3 years ago from Duncan.

Such a shame, but if you want an Escos and you get your agreed value it may be time to call it a day
