RIP Trophy 433/500

[Rob]

Are you on smack Luke?

4k?

Find me a trophy for sale for 4k.

 

[Scrooge]

How much is your excess?

 

[Hixle]

£500 Ant.

I would've let mine go privately go £4250. Anyone know of any high priced/high milage Trophy's for sale?

 

[Scrooge]

So basically if they give you 4k theyve given you 4.5k as they minus they excess? That's about right then IMO.

 

[Revels]

Didn't Gally send you a Trophy price version of War and Peace?

80k. £4500. http://www.cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/51329-Clio-Trophy-276-55-Plate-2-Owners-£4-500

That's what I'll be happy with mate. Yep.

If not, I'll go all insurance on them. Bust out all the jargon.

You can have mine for £4k if you like?

 

[Rob]

Use dan's link, state yours was better condition with immaculate service history etc, and tell them I've sat in it.

 

[Scrooge]

Lol, hopefully you can buy it back for a monkey too.

Cheers Dan <3

He did indeed I'm going back through it now.

I said a trophy, not half of one

 

[Hixle]

Lol, hopefully you can buy it back for a monkey too.

It's generally 10% if they do, so I hope so. I'm hoping for £3500 and a smashed up Trophy with recraros that smell of airbag, best case.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Lol, the amount of parts i have, mines more like 1.5 Trophys, although i could do with some proper Recaros

Its worth £4.5k all day long tbh Luke, Clart just paid over 4 grand for a Cat D one off eBay ffs. Yours was mint, & had the dampers/cambelt done properly ...

 

[Scrooge]

I think that will be best. That way you actually haven't lost that much

 

[Rob]

By the time we strip that badboy down you'll be quids in!

 

[Revels]

£4k. Buy it back.

The wheels will cover what it cost. Then you can sell on the seats and all the other red tat.

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

NEVER EVER take the first offer, look at your cars current value, find the same specked car find a few and show them to replace the car will cost you xxx.

Thanks Marc, MASSIVE help mate. Really appreciate it.

Ah cr4p... very, very sorry to hear the bad news mate. However, I'm chuffed that you are ok and in one piece. Good luck and I hope you're soon mobile again in another tidy car.

Thanks Andy. Yeah, I'm gutted about the car but just glad no one was hurt. It's a cliché but that's the main thing.

So, time to get that MX-5 then I guess then Luke?

Bit earlier than planned but yeah mate, that's the plan. Just need to check insurance.

 

[Goodj]

You'll be pleasantly surprised I'll bet.

Bad luck though fella, not good to see another R.S. smashed up

 

[Hixle]

I'll have a look later in the week mate.

Just emailed Admiral 5 adverts I've found. I was even geeky enough to send them pictures of my own car, just to show the condition. Gawd it was immaculate :dapprove:

 

[Rob]

Pictures like that make me sad.

Really was a lovely motor.

 

[Harpham]

Gutted for you mate. It did look wicked in the flesh at CSS too.

 

[Hixle]

Thanks Paul.

Just had it back confirmed as a Total Loss. Pretty relieved really, I wouldn't have wanted it fixed.

Pictures like that make me sad.

Really was a lovely motor.

The good news is that in the last email that they sent, the Settlement figure included 'Less Salvage Value' at £747.50. I'm assuming that's a buy-back figure? Maybe?

 

[Rob]

I guess so mate! As said, if you need somewhere to put it, feel free to use my place.

 

[Gally]

Fire me a text if you're still struggling mate. They'll realise eventually that you know what you're talking about. Any serious hassle and mention the financial ombudsman. They get fined everytime a case goes there.

Cash in Lieu (buy back) is still a grey area for a lot of insurers. 3.5k minus excess and the car back would be a very good day at the office.

 

[Hixle]

Cheers Rob, may need to take you up on that mate. Spend a few days getting drunk and stripping down a Trophy? Standard.

Thanks Kev, I may give you a bell in the week if thats ok dude? I don't think I sent you a pic of the car yet either pal :dapprove:

I guess I'd need to go down the standard complaint's procedure before anything really. We'll soon see, you would've been proud of my email son. Read like War & Piece, lol. I'm aiming for that aroudn that figure mate. Currently, they're offering 1.9k minus excess and buy back. Needless to say I'm not interested.

Suits me fine, it's sheltered, has power, and is locked. Poyfect.

 

[Chip-mk1]

The salvage value they have come up with is mentally low, so thats a good start, no need to haggle that, so only a case of getting them to realise that a trophy cant be priced by CAP etc and you are sorted.

They doubled the amount they paid for my E30 sport after a bit of arguing.

Good lad. Keep at it.

Of course mate, call me anytime.

Sadly that's actually glass' guide valuation. Very low as I said to Luke last week. It matters very little though as adverts are superior evidence.

 

[Hixle]

Happy days Rob. Only problem is that it's in Milton Keynes atm, so would need to get it transported.

I was pretty shocked too Chip! They haven't confirmed the Cat status yet, but judging by the fact that they're even disclosing to me then I guess it's CAT C. Aside from the valuations, they've been ok so far. I'll not drop any big insurance terms until they start to irritate me

 

[Hixle]

Can I speak to you in Scottish? I feel we bond more that way.

Lol

Transportation isn't the end of the world. MK isn't THAT far away... lol!

I'm sure we'll manage it mate.

Glass/CAP makes no odds, its ACTUAL market value I convinced them to go by with my E30.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Luke, how damaged is it?
