some old dithering ass decided it would be a good idea to drive into my front wing and bend my bottom arm yesterday , inturn writing off my car......:Cry:
i am just waiting for the valuation guy to ring me with a price and was wondering what sort of price should i accept?
its a mk3 in dimond black metalic, with gsi bumpers lowered all round on 17's in immaculate condition(full paint in the last few years)(new windscreen 3 days ago) all head just done new timing kit , new clutch, just gone through test without advisorys
i am buying it back but was wondering what sort of figures i should be looking at?
thanks
ian

£1k if your lucky.. Its been written off for a wing and arm? Why did you just say give me some money and we dont need to go thru insurance?

**haighy** · 10-03-2010 18:47

i said that but the old git said he paid insurance for a reason.....im gutted i have spent hours and a small fortune slowly re-building this car and now its a write off..... i just hope its cat d not cat c

Why would it make a difference to you what cat it is?

All mods declared? Who you insured with?

**haighy** · 10-03-2010 19:13

because if i ever come to sell the car if it was a cat c then it would put off potential buyers wouldnt it?
an arm is around £20 for a febi bilstein one and my mate has a jig i can put it on to check it straight a wing is £35 and i can paint that myself job done i have told insurance i want to buy it back regardless and have left some belongins(sub,stereo ect) in the car to make sure they cant dispose of it just in case they cat b it like they did with my mk2 golf,
i have told them if they wont let me buy it back that im going down with a van and a lift and its getting stripped there lol
im just gutted that it only needed a crank pully to make it 100% mint and now there going to offer me a tenth of what it stands me at lol
