WRITE OFF no problems there my mate had similar damage done to his escort the week before christmas. Write off.

 

Theres not much damage there....my mate done worse to his escort & fixed it for a couple hundred!!

 

i'd say sell the mods off it and get an insurance claim in if u hit her at just shy of 40mph your gonna have a bit of a bad neck in the morning too

and don't read that as claim for whiplash as i hate everyone that goes out and claims for no reason

 

Gonna call them back tomorrow to see if we can sort something about a courtesy car, i buggered without one.

 

Gutted

 

Gutted for u mate
how much would u say that its worth
i dont think it will be a write off but .... i no wat they r like
P.s give the car a Gd clean up etc... (if a write u may get a bit more )
RST

 

Just called my "claims department" regarding a courtesy car, they siad i didnt take out legal protection so they cant give me one, but i did it was only an extra 3 quid a month so why wouldnt I?

 

sorry to see that mate

 

They will repair that.. unless inner wing badly damaged ie requires alot of stripping

 

sorry to hear that mate, hope you get her fixed

 

Apart from the light and indicator isn't it still driveable ?

You will only get a car whilst its actually in for repair, or whilst waiting for the cheque to arrive, and they wont be able to authorise it until its been assesed or quoted on.

 

Tony they did mention quotes but they have to speak to her insurance first.

It seems driveable, although i have only driven from the recovery truck onto my drive. its dark now so cant see much.

 

hi mate cant you claim a courtesy car off her insurance company as it was her fault exact same thing happned to me and i managed getting one, hope you get better mate not your fault dont worry about anything dude

 

If you are confident you will win in court etc, you can hire a car then claim it back

 

sorry to hear that Andy.

 

sorry to hear that mate.

do u go to stockport on a thursday nite mate

 

As said get a coutesy car of her insurance at no cost to you,If you are clearly not to blame and your insurance tells you this,

then if this was the case non of this should cost you anything,if you get a coutesy car out of your own pocket keep the reciepts,

If you use the bus or get a taxi keep all of the receipts any prescription bills keep the receipts,

This is what my solicitor told me when a woman shunted me and the missus last year, and they tried to blame us
and if you do claim for an Injury you must tell the police that you have been injured,incase she has no insurance.

 

rscozzysie, no mate not been down there on a night for years.

Im gutted about the courtesy car problem, il deffo look into it tomorrow, starting to ache a little now.

 

Ahhh not as bad as i thought mate! Get it repaired i know you like that car

 

I recon to repair it with just whats viewable... wing, bumper and grille, complete light, bonnet £250 in parts then when you take in account paint, materials and labour it'll be £750 so I recon they'll write it off...... and who knows whats lurking behind the damage that you can't see

Shame its a clean car and won't be easy to replace


Defo look into a courtesey car as at the edn of the day it wasn't your fault so why should you be outta pocket

 

sorry to hear bout the accident andy, seems like it was her fault and she just didnt see you , hope you get it all sorted, just glad your ok, cars can be replaced.
cheers mark.

 

Sorry to hear this hunny bun

Sure the insurance will cover it and make it good as new

 

thats exactly what i did to my company car of the same colour but on the drivers side and cost over 4k to get it fixed.. so i hope they dont right it off..

 

Hey, did a very similar thing to my mk6, altho my fault anyway, we got a quote to repair, wing, bumper headlight. 1100!!!!! stupid, anyway, it was more than 2/3 value of the car so a right off! But i said i could repair it, they gave me 500 to repair. So try that, our insurance guy said they dont give the option to buy back any more! I look round a lot of salvage sites and stuff if i see your car i will say!

 

bad news,

mk5 escorts are easy to replace theres millions of the fucking things everywhere.

if it was a 3 door cossy you could be pissed right off.

 

been there, not a good feeling

 

Just been on ebay hunting down parts.

For a bonnet, headlight, bumper and wing it came to 170quid, obviously plus fitting and paint. just weighing up my options if they do write it off i may buy it back.

 

shame its not a mk5

 

Bad news Andy mate

Hope you get it all sorted.

 

Hopefully she wont lie to her insurance company and blaim it on u. If she does u know it's gonna drag on for ages

Gutted to hear about it tho mate, least everyone's ok

 

wonan driver's today ay

 

and it was the only escort in the world sprayed that green aswell

 

Thats shit dude

Hope u get it all sorted soon tho

 

Been in the trade for 10 years,and seen LOADS of Escorts worse than that repaired!!!!!

Dont worry about it....

P.S Did you ban her????????

Pete..

 

Wish i could have pete

 

thats shit news mate.my insurance company tried the same crap about a courtesy car when it wasnt my fault.contacted http://www.helphire.co.uk/
and they sorted everything.got me a car withing 24hrs and sort everything for you.even if its found it wasnt your fault your only liable for a £15 pound waiver charge.thats all i got charged and you get the car till your cars either fixed or you get a payout worth a try and youve nowt to lose i reckon.they also try there hardest to get you to claim for any whiplash etc lol

 

Sweet il contact them first thing

what kinda car did you get? dont want a to do 75 miles on the motorway in a fiat fartbox

 

Deffo get onto a claims recovery firm, being in an expensive hire car encourages them to pay out.

As the longer you take to accept an offer, the more it costs them.

And dont forget the obligatory whiplash claim, thats another 3K straight away.

 

Going to the docs in the morning chip, cant sleep, bloody bottom of my back is killing me!

 

Liverpool Victoria sorted me with a brand new Focus C Max thing. Had it for 2 weeks.

It could only be sorted the same day the inspector had been to look at my vehicle. Nothing at all to do with who's fault it was.

My pains were in my neck and upper shoulders, dunno if that differs as I was hit hard from behind by a HGV.

The cheque came within 12 days of the accident.

They are on the ball these days
