You want to ideally find adverts without ono on. Then you can come back and say that is the selling price.
You can't just go throwing accusations about like that with no proof.
Mk3 1.4 Dynamique S
I was with Endsleigh at the time and they were actually really helpful. The money was back in my account/paid to the finance company within a few weeks.
I bought a 52 plate immaculate Type R back in 2006 which got rolled 3 times and writen off a few months later in 2007. Thankfully I originally bought it for a good price as my friend was a car sales man. I needed 9300 for it when it was crashed (it was worth nearer 9800/10000 but as said I got it cheaper and had paid money towards it etc) and I got 9500 from the insurance company in the end which paid it off and paid any fees etc. Better than the 8000s offers that were first mentioned. I showed them lots of examples and didnt take their first offer (dont agree to anything until you are sure). I wouldn't say to be arsey about it but I just said that I obviously wanted what the car was worth (and what I needed) and the insurance person agreed with me.
It's worth a try anyway, thats only my experience. Caz pm me if this doesnt make sense/have questions, will see if I can help at all.
thankyou, i have found quite a few that are worth around the same or more than wat i will need. And they all have got more miles on them than mine did, would that make a difference now?
well i thought the same but i suppose he might not of had insurance or even a license, i am hoping it is just mistaken identity though.
im suprised you know where netherton is!
Mk3 1.4 Dynamique S
Thats a good thing because it helps show that yours was equal to if not better than them (due to less mileage) - so the value should be around what they are or even possibly slightly more. Should help back up your case/help you fight for a decent insurance value payout. Which insurance company are you with? What are they saying about it?
im with elephant. they havent really said much just asked how badly damaged it was, what it was like before it happened & theyll send some forms out.
The police have just rung me aswell and theyve taken the guy that drove into me into custody, they just need to check some CCTV for evidence!!

OMG!
He must be joking. A family friend crashed his GT3, remember him saying that he was with admiral which is sister company of elephant. They written it off even though it was still "drivable" he got good money for it.
Gutted for you. When my Astra VXR was stolen last feb & written off, I accepted the 4th offer from insurance. They will try and drag it on a bit, on the hope that you are desperate for the cash..... as said, I also printed many examples and explained all the options I had on the car (sat nav/xenons etc.) and how much they affect the base price.
Good luck with it all!
Good luck with it all!
Great news!

I can see where your coming from.
[skeptical mode on] The OP was involved in an accident on a financed car, didnt want to take the hit on his insurance or car value so decides to torch or pay someone to torch his Clio. The OP already admitted the car was out of sight behind another car and against the side of a house so that kind of rules out random arsen meaning their must be a motivation
Hmmmmm.

some insurances aren't to bad as when I had my 172 written off by this woman she admitted fault and her insurance gave me a courtesy car till i got mine fixed or a cheque. Anyway was written off and the guy from her insurance rang me up and offered 3.7 (I wanted 4k) and i said no that to low and said i wanted 4.5k and he said ok then 4.3k and i took it. that was it. got more than if i sold it!
When my brothers car was set a light he had to go through his insurance and basically he bought the car for 2.5k 2 years back and they offered him 2.4k and 300 quid for his sound system. LOL took it right away!

an accident where someone ran into me, it clearly says that. He was paying for it to be fixed, not me. Even if he refused i still wouldnt torch my own car (that i absolutey love) to pay for a tiny little bit of damage to still be paying for a car that i dont have. Not to mention (ive already said) it was behind my dads car (which got badly scratched at the same time) and right at the side of the house, why would anyone do that?
and it wasnt out of sight, my house is on the end of a cul-de-sac, you can clearly see my car from the main road at the side of my garden.
Hi, Caroline. I'll fire you over a PM, hopefully I can help you get a good settlement for the car.
thanks again!!

Just seems suspect to me.
Why does the car have 2 different headlights and shocking wheels?
Did you retro-fit Xenons then take them and the Turini's off before it was 'burnt'?
oh FFS
i bought the car with those wheels, theres nothing wrong with them.
if you actually read it you would see i bought some lights, one broke so i had to replace it with one of my old ones while it got fixed, would you like to ring the company and make sure i'm telling the truth?!
have you ever heard the saying 'if youve got nothing nice to say, dont say anything'
no theres not! they were nice before the car got frazzled, they just look a bit wierd now!
dont get me started on the exhaust, i HATE it!!
mine dropped off so had to quickly get a new one cheapish till i could find a better one, then it didn't fit right and the company i bought it off didn't care because 'it fits fine on everyone elses!' its only been on about a week.
what do you mean by insurance wont be impressed? lol
thankyou!! excess is only £150 theyve only charged just for it been a fire and not all rest for a full claim for some reason.
