Here we go again....!!
Insurance writes the car off... and sells it on : no longer the responsibility of the previous owner is it?
Yet people who buy write-offs come here, to seek the previous owners?
It's a total invasion of privacy IMO.
If one doesn't have the previous owners' details.... that is probably because thery are not entitled to that information in the first place.
But welcome to the club anyway

^^^^ disagree, like you said the previous owner has no responsibility, but still doesn't hurt to give some info about the car allows the person buying the car to make a decision on the info given.
I'll always research a car before I buy, and I'll assume alot of other people on the forum do aswell.

yeh disagree too, he probably only wants to know how bad the damage was, if the owner is that bothered then he doesnt need to answer his post does he
here is a post by the original owner "If you require anymore information because you see it on the market and are looking to buy it (at least I presume the insurers will pass it on) then PM me. I will not post any further information here. "
so i guess he's not too bothered about being contacted

hi omar, sorry if this post has offended you and if the mods decide the post is offencive etc please do remove it.
anyway as you have gathered from the post i am intrested in buying the car and before i do part with any cash i would like to know what sort of damage it has as the descriptions the insurance company give is not always accurate... etc
if the car was a couple of grands worth or a standard spec car i would not have bothered but with something like this i think it best to research the car best i can before i decide to buy it.
once again sorry to omar and anyone else that is offended and to everyone else, thanx for the replies
have a good christmas

Hiya,
Nah, I'm not offended...
...but personally I wouldn't want people seeking my details. If I wrote a car off, I wouldn't want anything to do with it, lol! So, my post relates to my own POV.
I know it's a public forum, but I do feel that our privay can be invaded - as it's easy to get contact details etc from other members... :S
TBH, the best thing you can do is inspect the car yourself - (if you're planning on repairing it yourself).
A write-off, with such a new car can only mean it's more trouble than it's worth (if you were planning on getting a garage to fix it).
If it's a Trophy, and the suspension is damaged, you won't be able to get replacement parts for a while... zzzzzzzZZZzzzZZZzzz... I'm not sure when Renault plan on doing them.
Good luck!

I think I know who previously owned that one, and what happened to it.
If it's the car I'm thinking of the owner is on ClioTrophy.
I once contacted a previous owner of a car which had been written off. I didn't find out until just after I picked the car up. I contacted her and she told me exactly what had happened, so I returned the car and got my money back.

Only a pri©k would react like that. Good luck in your search for information, S1d. I wouldn't be bothered if anyone contacted me about one of the many cars i've owned in the past – actually, as someone who has always been passionate about my cars I'd be quite interested to hear from them.
