Most Lorry Drivers are like that !

**Sorry if anyone on here's a lorry driver**

You getting it repaird Mate?

Well after being on the phone to the insurance people ive got to get 2 independant quotes on the repairs for the car...

But the car must be a write off, door pillars are creasedv rear end caved in! it would need a whole new shell i think?

gray they will write it off easy .. problem is wot you spent on it you will not get back

most truck drivers (depending on truck type) have a massive excess i.e. 5k in lots of cases so he may simply end up paying it himself. standard whiplash claim is circa 1800GBP anymore and they will contest it in court, have their own doctros check it out etc... simply drag it on until you get fed up. you need to get some pics from the website or autotrader showing the true value of your clio or else they will offer you a low amount. first rule, never accept their first offer, its a tempter.... just like on 'deal or no deal' haha

i agree though, only claim for things you have genuinely suffered as you are only hurting yourself, you will still end up paying for it somewhere down the line, increased premiums, higher tax's etc..

Well thats it the book price of my car is proberly only £1000>

But in the last 4 weeks its had:

New clutch

4 new toyo proxies

new discs an pads

lower ball joints

ARB bushes

and a new M.O.T!

Oh and i only renewed my insurance 3weeks ago GGGRRR!

in my eyes the car is worth £1700 at the very very least with all the parts on it!

[drsmith1979]

have you got receipts for the work done and the parts you bought? if so you can easily build that into the price no problem. when someone stole my fiesta years ago they offered me 200quid! i did a little research on autotrader, found some similar spec cars, similar mileage, much better condition mind, but sent them to the claims department and explained why i thouht my car was worth more, justified it with legitimate for sale adds, and then bartered about the price.. they more than double the offer to sort it asap. just be smart and honest and not too greedy.

also you want to get the car back. nick all the parts off it. they will let it go for less than 100 notes to a scrap yard so try and negotiate the return of the car as well.

[Gray]

Well ive just got the car back..

had to pay £198 but ive been told i can get this cost back!

If i am allowed to keep it she will be broken and stripped down guys
