it's a great car but i think i've made a mistake
it's been economically written off after being involved in a shunt with a bus so it needs a vic (?) it's had a little bump on the rear and a little bump on the front as it was the 5th car that was rear ended by the bus
drives fine and other than that it's spot on
the problem now has arisen that i don't have anywhere to put it, nor the time to get the vic done, nor any idea what i'm supposed to do to get it done and then i've got to tax it and stuff
so i'm now considering selling it on, but i'm probably going to fall foul of the pf rules about selling things you've only just bought 15 minutes ago while thinking about the terrible loss to arsenal

that's the damage from the transit that hit it at the back
and the jag that he then rear ended put a dent in the kidney bit of the bonnet
that is the sum total of the damage
and seeing as the bus company have now given him a cheque i'm not even sure it is an "official" write off
how do i check?

vic check is another money making scam. had a volvo v70 done a couple of years ago and tester lifted bonnet, looked at plate and said it's ok. didn't even look for stamp on chassis. Ł45 for 30 seconds "work" ???? you will need to trailer it to the test station.

it wont need vic if it was paid out of the coach co
call up the vic people who will tell you if they need to see it
i dont know but i expect its a Ł1000 car so no biggie to leave it but that panel looks a sod to fix unless its trim (i cant see any joins tho) did you get a v5?

not true, my wife always make sure when renewing or changing insurers and she did just that on the 12th of this month and she can drive any vehicle not owned by her (drives cars home for me)
the only stipulation is roadworthyness to be covered

don't need repairing if i'm honest, i'd drive it around as is
it was only last year that chip etc were on about them selling for Ł2k all day long so Ł600 is a nice round figure for me![Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
still got no where to park it though![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
and one of my insurance policies says i'm not allowed to drive any other vehcile that's not owned by my but the other says i can if i'm not the owner "but" the vehicle must be insured in it's own right by the owner

I know Somme where you can store it for a few weeks but can't take the piss with it as its a private car park where my mate owns a flat but I have stored untaxed cars there for a few weeks ( one for 3 years but had a letter hence every few weeks its checked)

Reason I ask is being young (at the time I was below 20) I specifically went with a certain someone who offered me this privilege, as it normally only applies if you over 25, but even so, less and less companies are now offering this.
The condition was car could not registered to you, was roadworthy, you have the owners permission, and was insured by the owner, along with other rules such as you can't tow, it can't have more than 8 seats etc.
So if your saying it does not need to be insured, how does this work then when the car is parked on the road for example, as that means it's not insured?

People keep getting confused with cat c and d, it has NOTHING to do with damage severity, only financial costraints at best but more often than not simply down to the assessor checking it.
Not all cat c's require a VIC test, cat c vans don't full stop.
Believe me, I was in the accident damage trade.
