350z, Subaru Legacy
Been offered £4,900 with 400 of it scrap value - so £4,500 and keep the car.
Going to appeal against the valuation with adverts etc.
Worth keeping the car and selling it in on myself? - how much could I get for Cup spoiler, absolutely mint steering wheel, seats etc?
Don't know if I've really got anywhere to keep it either... hmm

That exhaust is still sitting better than mine at the moment!
They are offering you the car for £400????

Lol at exhaust, Yeah if I want to keep the car they will give me £4500.
I'm fairly sure the doors are ok, and probably the O/S front wing. I don't know how practical it would be for me to have it sitting on the drive though, and have people come and collect parts etc.

Get out! £400 for all that car!? Snap their hand off ASAP.
The set of wheels alone will get you £400. Then you have the Xenon headlight, Engine + Gearbox, Steering wheel, Rear bumper etc etc.
You would easily get more than that in parts if you sold it on. Just sell the desireable parts then trailer the rest down to the scrappy.

defo get the car back to sell the parts mate

Hmm forgot about the wheels, Yeah I'm going to get another one - Racing Blue clio number 3 - 3rd time lucky and all that.
Yeah breaking it sounds like a good plan then, considering the responses. Not so sure my parents will be too happy about having it on the drive as unfortunately I am living at home at the moment lol. Hopefully I can shift all the good parts.

You would be crazy not to at that price mate, as said...
RB 182 with CUP packs
A mate just sent me this link James, sorry to hear about the accident dude 
As long as you're ok, don't worry about the car, but it is sad to see her like that.

Take that and run. £4,900 as a base price is very very good. You were never going to get near your original want of £6k.
Take the £4,500 cash. Don't piss about with people on here who will 'definitely' have things and will 'pay you tomorrow' and the 300 PM's you'll get asking you stupid questions etc.
Take half a dozen pictures. Explain. Stick it on eBay. You'll get £1500 for it at least and absolutely no hassle. Then you've got your £6k and you haven't got your hands dirty.

I realised after it was too late to edit lol.
But thanks for pointing that out.
As said though, shame its a write off! But definitely take the £4500!

gutted, i cryed a litle inside, i love 182's
I cryed a little outside, just waiting to hear my revised offer...
350z, Subaru Legacy
Ok revised offer has come through, £4,900 and keep the car.
So I have accepted, now just need to arrange getting the car back to my house... Anyone know if the RAC or AA are likely to tow it for me? I have cover from both.
There's a good chance I will try this on ebay first to see what happens....

surely if they are giving you 4900 and you can ebay the car for 1500 thats 6400, are you gonna be making money on what you paid?
Good result! The AA/RAC won't move a crashed car, well they wouldn't when I tried.
How far away is it? Just look on Yell for 'car transporter' people or try eBay. People offer those services on there.
But sticking it on eBay as it is, that's the best plan by far. Far less hassle for you.

Yeah, RAC weren't interested so I'm assuming AA are the same looking at their website.
£75 for the garage to bring it to me, so I'm just going to go for that as it's easy and I've paid £100+ before for towing so not too out of the way really.
Cheers for all the input from everyone, much appreciated. Can't wait to get it all sorted so I can get another Clio!

Ok, so I got it sold at the weekend!
£1800 and took less than a week, not too bad really.
Now my REAL problem is trying to find another cup packed Racing Blue Clio with low mileage.
There's one in Wales with 17,000 miles on it, but in April it needs an MOT, service and belt change - he's got it up for £6,800!!
No mods either, like brakes or even pads...
I'd give him £6000 after all the work maybe! Seems well overpriced.
I could.... get... a different colour... :S

Buy on condition .. not milage.
You'll be here for ever trying to find another one that is more perfect than the last one... or the one before that......

Not trying to blow my own trumpet James, but I think you'll struggle to find a 182 in that sort of condition with the miles tbh mate.
£6800 is far too strong. The MOT isn't a worry, but the cambelt service is a biggy as you know.
