Think ive written off my 182 (Pic)

[Jimbo-Clio]

JCC yeah you might be able to get it back if you kicked off big time but alot of the main insurers would not want to give it back. If you made a massive fuss and gave them the V5 as you say and declared as sorn then they might let you have it. CAT A is most extreme you can get AD pretty much cars that are in half or fire damage.

Ouch.

 

[Badger_GT]

Thats deffo a right off mate! Roof bent and your B-pillar bent = Big $$$$$$ They wrote my Cup off for less

[Joeh]

Nah, couple days ago. Been cycling everywhere since... im knackered !

lmfao love the fact your more bothered about being nackered than the written off 182, legend for having a sense of humour tbh

 

[bmh.01]

Yeh thats finished, not to worry at least you walked from it only metal.

 

[R20 CWH]

I went down to musselburgh and it was shocking the backroad off the services was flooded.

Sorry to hear Justin

 

[VeinAST]

Ouch! Least you're back posting on CS

 

[Philpott]

parts?

 

[Justin182]

Yeah, pretty gutted considering i know it was mint. Spent a lot of time, money and effort getting it there and was putting out 200 bhp. Never rattled or squeaked once and has a perfect service record.

Also has a Janspeed system and Sportlines.

The only thing that was not up to speed were the rear tyres which i was due to change in the next couple weeks. Suppose thats the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[Naith]

ooooofft

never nice tosee, spesh on such a fine example

ur ok tho, which matters more!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Some damage.

Least your safe though.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

how much would your insurance sell it back to you for?!

 

[Justin182]

Finally my insurance company has come back with a price.

They will give me £4700 which is a lot better than i was expecting to be honest.

Thought i would have had to fight for that.

Recon its a good deal ?

54 Pate non cup on 68,000 miles

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Find out how much it will cost to buy it back!! £4700 is a very good price!

 

[fil_b]

doubt you would get that if u split it

get another for that off here

 

[Justin182]

Find out how much it will cost to buy it back!! £4700 is a very good price!

Said they dont allow buy backs apparently.

 

[DIRTYPAPERZ]

Jus I feel for you bruv. Atleast your ok and have insurance so just claim it up & all will be sweet.

 

[Golgarth]

take the money and run.


At least you are ok

 

[Justin182]

So i take it £4700 is a good deal and i should take it while still running ?

 

[Darmon]

4700 seems a little low to me. Thats the mileage on?

 

[Revels]

Find some expensive adverts. Send them the links and ask for more.

Can't hurt. They might tell you that £4700 is their final offer, but you might get more. Its worth the effort of sending a few links.

 

[mark_182_54]

look for around 5600

 

[JCC]

It's not too bad for insurance companies, but as Revels says chance your luck a bit, you've got nothing to lose.

 

[Slammed172]

It's not too bad for insurance companies, but as Revels says chance your luck a bit, you've got nothing to lose.

Definally ask for more, i've heard in many case's you can raise the amount they give you.

There is never a chance they will go below that offer, so you may aswel try.

 

[Rob_Willow]

I couldn't pinch the silver gear knob insert could I? will pay you

 

[Jamie]

I would keep rejecting and rejecting. Their admin time and fixed costs eventually make it more viable to just pay you the extra. Thats is, assuming you have time and the ability to buy a new car without the money from the old one.

 

[R20 CWH]

Said they dont allow buy backs apparently.

disappointing, im sure there would have been plenty of people on here after a few goodies...

 

[GinandGasoline]

never accept their first offer... when my Trophy was written off they offered me one price, i then gave them 5 adverts of similar vehicles and they increased their offer... do some research on what they go for, unless you're happy with that price of course

oh and gutted to see the damage, i wasn't expecting it to be so bad!

 

[Justin182]

Thanks guys, Ill try my luck for more i think. Ive seen them advertised at higher prices so ill go for them.

Yeah, missing the 182 now. Really not sure what to get.

Was thinking an M-sport 320d and remap it ! Bet they are rapid once played with.

 

[Brett]

Sorry to see this mate. M sport BMW's are nice. You could just get a 197 though. Step up but still the Renaultsport experience.

 

[Martin_172]

rather than feeling gutted about it just look at it as a chance for a new car, i think id need to write my 172 off before i could change it! lol id need forced to change it!

 

[Tigger]

Ouch that looks nasty, and painful even to look at :dead:

 

[Dee1983]

Oh dear...sorry to see and hear about the car.

 

[Gally]

After speaking with a direct line engineer mate, you should reject there first offer on the grounds you ahve seen the same model, mileage ect.. for more in a private sale.

Aslong as you can back that up it should be fine and you should get a little more.

Even 5k would suffice imo.
