[Arran_182]

Ah pisser matey..

No mate. feel a bit of a muppet for not taking it.

 

[Alan]

These things happen mate...i took it out on both my 182 and my R27..its well worth it IMO no matter what car you have as 9 out of 10 times your insurance will never give you whats its really worth..

 

[Christopher]

[Arran_182]

I paid 10k for the car back in August 07 and the gave me 8450 as a settlement.

 

[Arran_182]

I was considering a 197 but the insurance would be a killer

 

[clio_luke]

gutted mate. sorry about the loss.
good choice on the vrs tho, my friend luke at jabba sport had a very fast one.

 

[DebV6]

Oh no! That's a sad sight, gutted for you

 

[deanf06]

Ah pisser matey..

Have you got GAP insurance??

[kingkelvin]

[Aluco]

Sorry about the car such a bad feeling,

Do you know which breakers its at ?

I would like your rear bumper if its unscathed

[Mikey197]

Sorry to see the car like that mate, especially when it came from the pic below. Hope you have fun with the fabia and at least your alright. Always a bonus.

 

[Fletcher]

I remember your other thread, around christmas time, not a nice sight.

 

[Marky_]

That's a sorry looking car

 

[Scaggeh]

Ah pisser matey..

A bit of a con imo. Basically its like top up insurance. Write your car off in a given time and they will pay out for whatever depreciation has occured.

 

[terribleclio]

its gone to a auto salvage

any idea which one?

It can be a bit of a con sometimes but it helped me out once, when I got ripped off buyin my 1st motor.

Bought it for £4k on finance rolled it and wrote it off within 9 months and insurance gave me £1500 minus £500 excess so a grand in total, claimed on the GAP insurance which paid off the rest of the finance (THANK F**K!)

Not really mate...

I'd rather pay £250 opposed to loosing £2500 or the likes..

 

[16v_paddy]

BTW gutted 4 u m8!

At least ur ok thats the main thing

 

[Scaggeh]

But generally you aren't losing £2500. When your car is 3yrs old, it isnt worth the same as when it was new, so why expect that much back?

If buying a new car, a handy tip is to check with your actual insurer. Many offer include a form of GAP insurance as standard for the first 12months of a cars life and prevents you getting ripped off by the dealers.

Paddy: admittedly, can be handy when buying on finance!
