Death at the hands of a man and his 4x4

[Swervin_Mervin]

thing to remember nowadays mate. insurance companies want older vehicles of the road now. so they will write a any car over 10 years old off for the slightest bit of damage.

In a word: Bollocks.

i fought my insurance company for my willy 1, due to rally heritage ect, Matt Brown has a article about it somewhere, i have it at work but it really helped, i have loads of magazine articles on disk somewhere, if you want it i will fish it out for you!! I feel a mission to follow!!

you will be surprised mate! my mate works in car insurance! i know of an old XR2(brothers neighbour) that was written off. and all it needed was a new wing...

[Swervin_Mervin]

I will be surprised given that ULF has sustained over £1ks worth of damage twice now and not been written off.

daz mate im inclined to agree with you, from what ive seen I dont think thats too bad. ok its not small, but unless subframe is bent, i think thats fine for a repair.

[summeh]

subframe is an easy repair. In this case though subframe shouldn't be bent as nothing has come at it from the side (wheels).

Well the car got a full inspection today and they have confirmed its a write off. :(

They have offered me £1850 for her that I am obviously objecting to. I feel the car was worth £3.5K but need help proving it. I have got two adds off piston heads for Williams 1 100k Miles at £3k & £4K but I need another advert to send to the insurance company. Can any one else help me with a advert. Preferably above £3K :D

Thanks Andy

Good luck

How much did you buy her for?

Matthew

[Piper]

Think it was £3250. But I have done a fair bit of work since. New Rad, new steering coloum, coolant pipes etc etc.

She was mint except the stand surface rust on one arch. RR at 156 BHP, 108 K miles, standard except scorpion exhaust, Alarm, Stereo,

Do you think £3.5K is to high?

[Scougar]

First offer will nearly always be too low. They try there luck. Just say no and you want more as the car has higher market value.

You may need to say no to the 2nd offer as well lol.
