Blimey. Didn't expect it to be that bad after what you've said.
£5100 is stupidly generous. Be awesome to get that.
That's got to be a write off. Surely. I don't understand why you're so desperate to get it back? Let them write it off and buy another one.
I won't join in the 'you were going...
How is it consistent? You mean everyone gets figures they like? Well that's just good business sense. Nothing else.
Same RR. Same set up. Before and after mods. Then that's great. Using it as a one off and taking it as gospel is stupid.
1700 is barely run in. It's pointless. Exactly, they...
It's not 'CS mentality' it's logic.
RR a car on 1700 miles is pointless. Believing the figure when you've done far fetched sums to get there is deluded.
A generous RR gets people happy and makes them want to come back. It's good business sense and then the clueless lap up the results and give...
I had a cherry, currently rocking pear. Not a fan.
Cherry will make a return next time I feel like spending £4 on an air freshener that runs out after a day.
Joe, I wouldn't bother. He's been the same for years. You'll never make him realise things have moved on.
I didn't buy a Williams because they look so dated. That was 5 years ago. Some people realise that it was a good car and maybe for you deluded fan boys it still is, but to most, they want a...
I think you'll be very lucky to have it as anything other than your fault but there we go..
I remember someone before Christmas paid about £450 I think to buy back their 172 Cup. You'd get not far off that for wheels and tyres.
What parts does your car need to fix it?
You can't do him for leaving the scene of an accident. He might have caused it, but he technically hasn't been involved in an accident. Did the cars that were behind that had to brake that carried on going leave the scene of an accident? Nope.
Hopefully it all gets sorted for you. The lucky...
You don't have to pay the excess as it wasn't you fault.
You insurance will still go up, but shouldn't by that much.
What have they said when you called them?
The value you tell doesn't make any difference at all. They won't base anything on that. Or I could insure a base model at £20k then sit it on fire.
I'd say book was under £4k. Do they really repair for 75% of the value? I find that hard to believe..
It would help if you explain properly.
Ask the garage what the service includes. Ask Fred what the service includes.
Check your handbook. Common sense TBH.
Even if you chase the van and find him, you'll be hard pressed to prove it and make anything happen.
What does the car need?
Bonnet/bumper/light/grill/rad/paint will be knocking £2k
That might be bye bye tbh.
So you want people to tell you why a garage, employing lots of people, with massive overheads are more expensive than Fred who works for himself for exactly the same thing?
That guy looks okay but as a rule, I wouldn't risk eBay for cards. Lots of fakes about.
Also, the risk of a card going wrong is uber slim, but I wouldn't want 2000 pics on an 8GB card and it to die. I still roll with 2GB :o
It won't help. If you're that bothered about your show car either buy a banger or cover it in bubble wrap.
They'll fall off/stolen and won't protect your car.
