steveolkinevel Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Had a serious amount of stress with the bloody insurance companys! The pi55 heads insurance company wasnt going to accept liability for the accident even tho my car was parked up and she was drunk and rammed my car 10yard up the road and threw a wall! WTactualF?! So was going to cost me a grand for my excess! Then they said that i hadnt declared my car was a premier edition when i took out the insurance!! Told them it should come back on the reg number which it does when they looked into it! So after more bickering with the engineer, they har wrote it off as they said it would be £5414 to repair, so im getting £400 more than i paid for the car in the first place and im getting the car back for £1000! It works out that ive only paid £600 for it!So im going to strip all the pannels off that i can then take the car to a body works center near me and get them to check it on a jig, if its all good it will be getting repaired then put back on the road, if not then she will be stripped for parts.

Krzys Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Cat C then! Hopefully it's not too bad underneath but I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a grands worth of straightening out involved if you do repair it! I think the cost to repair vs the cost to replace wouldn't work out, but worth stripping down for parts for a K20 project!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I hate insurance companies too, they are nice when you speak to them to they take your money, then when you need to claim its always grief!You might do alright with this, fingers crossed you do as it was out of your hands in the first place.
